#2 "Palestinian police ... took measures after the blast left a large crater in the fence, and Egyptian security forces took up positions on the other side of the border to prevent infiltrations"

Do any of these "measures" and "positions" include shooting anything that moves or tries to move through the hole?

If not - what a waste of time on both sides.

#4 Palestinian policemen rushed to the scene and took measures after the blast

"Lemme see here guys, so many pounds of dynamite makes a hole exactly this big ..."

I'm sure this actually was just a tunneling "work accident".
