Egyptian TV host calls for 'firm response' to Damietta Port drone attack

Egyptian television host Amr Adib has urged a forceful response to a drone attack that ignited a fire on two ships docked at Damietta Port. In a statement shared on his X account, Adib emphasized the necessity of a firm and direct reaction, asserting that "Egypt's must be strong, forceful, and clear." He dismissed calls for restraint, stating, "Those advocating for self-restraint should remain completely silent."

Adib argued that identifying the drone's origin is feasible and that retaliation is a matter of self-defense. "A strike must be met with a harsher strike so we do not receive more drones," he wrote. "This is a case of self-defense, and no one can stop you or blame you under any law. Anyone who harbors ill intentions toward Egypt must pay a heavy price."

His comments followed an official confirmation from the Egyptian Cabinet. The cabinet acknowledged that a drone strike caused the fire aboard the two vessels at Damietta Port. As of the report, no entity has claimed responsibility for the incident.
