Is Egypt threatening Israel through its military exercises on the border?

Egypt's plans for live-fire exercises in Sinai have raised alarms among Israeli residents near the border. Although the drills were coordinated with Israel under the 1979 peace treaty, residents fear a return to the conditions that preceded the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. The Forum for Israel's Border Communities also criticized the proximity of these exercises, likening them to patterns seen before the October attack.
