Hamas Pierces Egypt Border, Opening Gaza.

The article reports that members of the militia group Hamas destroyed a large portion of the fence dividing the Gaza Strip from Egypt. Tens of thousands of Palestinians crossed through the breach to purchase food and other supplies in the town of Rafah. Gaza has been under a total blockade by Israel in response to rocket attacks by Hamas members. Egyptian armed forces did nothing to prevent the fence's destruction or the entrance of the Palestinian shoppers.
