Egyptian troops go on alert, fear new Hamas bid to breach Gaza border
2008-04-10
Egyptian troops went on alert Wednesday in the town of Rafah bordering Gaza, fearing Hamas militants may attempt to forcibly breach the border again, a security official said. Egypt's Foreign Ministry warned Palestinians in Gaza that any attempts to infringe upon the Egyptian borders will be met with a serious and firm position.

#1  I have a feeling yesterday's Nahal Oz attack, hardly noticed by the international media, will be a tipping point. No more fuel for Gaza for an extended period, Hamas gets desperate and tries a mass breakout to the Sinai. Brutal Egyptian response and we see what happens on the streets of Cairo where there have already been bread riots.
