At this stage it is not possible to say If this is the first move of an attack on Egypt, proper, but it is a clear violation of Egyptian territory.

No defence was put up but illusive speedy British tanks, charges by harassing enemy columns.
The main body of British troops somewhere else is completely ready.
To-day the Italians have found one thing that they apparently did not reuilse before-that Sollum which they have called a military and naval base and which they have bombed, is a partly ruined village of no value at all. The British have never held Sollun.
