What! Egypt has built a big scary wall to protect themselves from their brothers, the noble, oppressed Palestinians? Somebody call Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, quick!

Palestinians blow hole in Gaza-Egypt border wall.

RAFAH BORDER CROSSING, Gaza Strip (AFP) - Palestinian militants have blown a hole in the Palestinian border wall between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, witnesses said.

Around 200 Palestinians gathered at the scene of the explosion, where witnesses said militants blew open a 25-foot wide (eight meter) hole in the wall on Thursday. No casualties were reported.

Egyptian and Palestinian security guards on their respective sides of the border prevented any civilians from crossing through the hole.

Egyptian security forces sent riot police, fire trucks and armored personnel carriers for reinforcement, an AFP correspondent saw from the Palestinian side of the border.
