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.
Men in black clothing, some of them masked, stood atop the bulldozer as it knocked down a concrete slab under the watchful eyes of Egyptian forces on the other side who shot in the air in an attempt to hinder the flow of Gazans into Egypt.

Sounds like Gaza is a part of Egypt now. Good riddance.

Popping some head shots should chill this...
Egypt may huff and puff, but Israel could, if it had the will, simply completely withdraw behind its own wall, seal the border with Gaza and leave it to Egypt to do whatever it wants with the Gaza problem.
fuel canisters? sounds like a euphemism for that previously-empty container part of a kassam.
"Ahmed! We are about to be overrun by hordes of smelly Palestinians! What do we do?"
"Quickly, Mustafa! Aim the water cannon over their head! It will not stop them, but at least they will get a free shower!"
"Insh'allah, Ahmed! You are brilliant!"
