The people holding them are demanding the release of their fellow terrorists from Egyptian jails.

There is video of the hostages begging Morsi to release the terrorists, comparing their situation to that of Gilad Shalit.

Since the kidnapping there has been other attempts by the terrorists to capture more dudes.

Egypt is moving extra dudes and armor into the Sinai (no word if approved by Israel or not....though I'm sure it would be) to look for the douchebags.

The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

And the border gaurds closed both the Gaza crossing and the Israeli one as a protest to Morsi to give them more dudes and more protection against the terrorists.  They've since re-opened the Israeli checkpoint.

Egypt army prepares for Sinai assault
Quote
Egyptian security forces were preparing Monday to launch a rescue operation to free seven kidnapped soldiers and police officers in the Sinai peninsula, security sources said.

A large plane carrying soldiers and heavy military equipment landed at el-Arish airport Sunday night in preparation for the attack on "terrorist groups," the sources said on the condition of anonymity.

Egypt's military has also called in a special forces unit as Cairo refuses to negotiate with the kidnappers.
