Egypt has sent a large convoy of military forces along with large cranes, bulldozers and other construction and engineering equipment into the Sinai Peninsula in an attempt to restore order there after the region saw attacks on police stations and Islamic militants launch rockets into Israel.
The developments come days after 16 Egyptian soldiers were killed and seven others were wounded when assailants with semiautomatic weapons and hand grenades stole two armored vehicles from Egyptian forces and tried to enter Israel.
