Palestinian militants detonated a land mine near the border with Egypt on Thursday, blowing open a large hole in a wall near the border, witnesses and officials said.
Palestinian security personnel formed a human cordon to prevent people from pushing through the gaping hole, and hurdling a second, border wall less than 100 meters (yards) away, witnesses said.
On the Egyptian side, soldiers gathered to prevent people from breaching the Palestinian cordon and officials imposed a curfew near the blast site, said Ahmed el-Masri, director of police in the Egyptian border town of Rafah.
El-Masri said the hole was about three meters (nine-feet) wide.
Dozens of Palestinians streamed to the area after the mine exploded.
Medical officials said two police officers standing near the wall were injured by the explosion. No further details were immediately available.
All of the Arab world talks about how bad the Palestinians got it, yet Egypt will not allow them into Egypt!
Egypt is smarter then the US when it comes to keeping illegals out, 2 walls backed up by the military!

Isn't this the same Egypt that scorned the Israelis for building a very similar wall to protect themselves from suicide bombers? If there's anyone more two faced than Arabs then I've never met them .

no idea why they did that, first they kill their own on a beach and blame it on israel and now about to turn egypt on them as well......however i consider the worlds greatest superpower a little more two faced than your average arab. hold on..not bashing... but we have to be or we wouldnt be where we are or be able to maintain it. its how empires are made and maintained...
It is quite interesting that the Arab world wants the Palestinians confined to that area, I wonder why???
Because they're a bleeding thorn in everyone's side and right now the only ones who have to deal with them is Israel . They've been kicked out of every single country that they've ever found themselves in . Not hard to figure that one out .
