“Israel fears Hamas serious about blowing up Rafah border”
By YAAKOV KATZ
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Hamas is determined to go through with its threat to forcefully breach the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt in the coming days, a senior Israeli defense official said Wednesday.
Egyptian troops went on high alert near the Rafah crossing after the threat was made. Egypt’s Foreign Ministry warned Gazans that any attempts to “infringe upon the Egyptian borders will be met with a serious and firm position.”
On January 23, Hamas blew holes in the border wall, allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to stream into Egypt unchecked for 12 days and stock up on food and other goods made scarce due to Israeli sanctions on the flow of supplies into Gaza in the wake of daily Kassam rocket attacks from the Strip.
Hamas smuggled truckloads of explosives and weaponry into Gaza while the border was open, security officials said.”
