Hamas claims Egypt fired at Gaza security outposts
2015-02-04
[IsraelTimes] Alleged incident comes days after Cairo declares Islamist group a terrorist organization

Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, accused Egypt's army of firing at Paleostinian security outposts in the Gazoo Strip Tuesday, just days after Cairo declared the Islamist movement's military wing a terrorist group.

Gazoo's Hamas-run interior ministry condemned "the Egyptian army for firing this morning directly at two positions along the southern Gazoo border."

"It was without justification, and there had been no incursion from the Paleostinian side" of the tiny coastal strip, which borders Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

The statement, which did not refer to any casualties, called for an immediate investigation into the incident.
It's all very odd. Thank goodness Ynet adds some key information:
Egyptian forces fire at Hamas posts in Rafah after bomb explodes near border

Egyptian security forces fired at two Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, posts in the Gazoo Strip, near the Rafah border crossing, after a bomb aimed at the Egyptian forces went kaboom! near the border, in Egypt. No injuries were reported.
