Egyptian guards with riot shields formed human chains along the Egypt-Gaza border Friday, but were unable to stop hundreds of Palestinians from rushing into Egypt after a bulldozer wrecked another section of fence along the frontier.

Gazans breach Egyptian border again

RAFAH, Gaza Strip - Hamas-backed militants driving bulldozers knocked down more fortifications Friday along the Gaza-Egypt border — a brazen challenge to Egyptian riot police, who abandoned their positions after attempting to reseal the frontier using human chains, dogs and water cannons.

Is it me or are the Gazans flat out invading Egypt?

Why is Egypt not sending out F-16s to blow up these bulldozers to send a message?

That would piss people off in the area...

Kind of funny that Egypt thought it was cool to let the people in to purchase supplies in defiance of the embargo by Israel, but, when Israel told Egypt that they would be responsible for the people, how quick they changed their tune.......
