when it was reported Thursday, a multinational team of observers led by the United States take the "Black Hawk" helicopters in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, near Sharm el-Sheikh crashed, killing eight peacekeeping The members of the army died, including 6 American soldiers, 1 French soldier and 1 Czech soldier, all of whom were serving soldiers. A U.S. military observer from the
helicopter survived and was sent to an Israeli hospital for treatment.
The helicopter involved in this incident belongs to the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), a peacekeeping force established in accordance with the 1979 Camp David agreement. The main task is to supervise the implementation of the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel.
After the signing of the Camp David agreement, the U.S. military assumes the obligation to supervise the implementation of the agreement between the two parties, but the United States hopes that the UN peacekeeping force will accept this obligation.
In 1981, the UN Security Council was unable to make an agreement to deploy peacekeeping forces due to the Soviet veto. Since then, with the mediation of the United States, some countries have provided troops outside the framework of the United Nations and formed a multinational observer force.
At present, this force has a total of 11 members of the military participating, of which there are about 680 from the United States. However, despite decades of war in the Middle East, the establishment of this force can only be said to be because the United States is unwilling to give up its influence on the Sinai Peninsula.
Currently, the photos of the helicopter crash site have not been released. The official statement is that there is no evidence to prove the occurrence of circumstances other than mechanical failures, and there are also media reports that there are still extreme armed activities on the Sinai Peninsula. It does not rule out that helicopters conflict with ground forces!
