Egypt's rhetoric has been anti-Israel but its actions have shown that it hates Hamas much, much more. They have repeatedly banned foreigners from sending aid and doctors through Rafah, although the Egyptians themselves sent a token amount of medicines.Egyptian military sources said that Egyptian troops killed a "suicide bomber" who tried to approach the Israeli border near Kerem Shalom military base on the border on Wednesday night.
The sources told Ma'an that the army also destroyed a vehicle loaded with Grad missiles shortly before they were launched towards Israeli territory.
The vehicle was spotted in Sheikh Zuweid in the North Sinai district before it was hit by artillery shells, killing two individuals inside.
According to the sources, the "suicide bomber" carried an explosive device in addition to an explosive belt on his body.
He was shot dead while running towards the border with Israel south of Rafah in what they said was an attempt to reach an Israeli military base in Kerem Shalom.
From Ammon News:
Egyptian authorities have denied on Sunday the entry of a Jordanian medical delegation into Gaza Strip via Rafah crossing.
The delegation includes five Jordanian doctors who reached Cairo on Friday en route to Gaza to participate in the treatment of the growing number of injuries as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the besieged enclave.
The delegation was carrying medical equipment and devices offered by the Jordanian Committee to support the health sector in the Gaza Strip.
The delegates said that the Egyptian authorities barred their entry along with other Arab and foreign doctors.
