Egypt Continues Crackdown On Gaza Border
[Ynet] Massive demolition of homes in attempt to evict thousand, angering locals; Egyptian gov't wants to destroy Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, smuggling tunnels
Egyptian troops are pressing ahead with the demolition of hundreds of homes along the border with the Gazoo Strip, cutting off electricity and firing warning shots in the air in a heavy-handed campaign to evict thousands of residents from the volatile area.
The forced evacuations in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula are further alienating a restive population with longstanding grievances against the government of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, raising the risk of more violence in the lawless region.
