The Egyptian army at dawn on Wednesday opened fire on the Palestinian side, directly near the border in the town of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. According to security sources speaking to Palestine Times, the Egyptian army fired directly on a number of citizens without injury.The Islamic Jihad newspaper Palestine Today, which normally has the most unbiased coverage of the Gaza Strip, has nothing on this story.
Hamas has been waging a rhetorical campaign against the Egyptian army, and according to the army, a military campaign as well, which Hamas strenuously denies.
It is nearly impossible to find out the truth of what is really going on, except that the Egyptian military government really, really hates Hamas, and the feeling is mutual.
