border crossing in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip,,,,


Palestinians take cover during clashes with Egyptians at the border crossing in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Monday, Feb. 4, 2008. Gunfire erupted at the Gaza-Egypt border on Monday, following stone-throwing clashes between Egyptian border guards and Palestinians, witnesses said. The tensions began when the Egyptian guards sealed the border Monday, not even allowing Egyptians and Gazans who had found themselves on the wrong side of the border to return home.

Egyptian troops closed the last breach in Egypt's frontier with the Gaza Strip Sunday morning, ending a chaotic, 11-day stream of Palestinians out of long-blockaded Gaza. The troops were allowing Gazans and Egyptians who remained on the wrong side of the border to cross back to their homes, but were no longer allowing new cross-border movement.
