Egyptian troops shoot Paleos on Gaza border
2005-09-12
A Palestinian man has been shot dead Monday afternoon and other injured on the Egyptian – Gaza border, after Egyptian border troops opened fire on Palestinian crowds who were attempting to infiltrate Egypt. An Egyptian source has denied the reports.
Lies! All lies!
Gonna be a tough day when the Paleos get a clue.
The Palestinian man has been named as 37 year-old Nafez Atiya. He was shot in the neck after trying to cross the fence and get into Egypt.

Israel had left Gaza over the previous night, and the IDF had removed its soldiers from the Philadelphi Strip. Egyptian soldiers took their place, following an agreement between Cairo and Jerusalem on the deployment of Egyptian border troops on the border.

According to witnesses, Egyptian security forces opened fire after thousands of Palestinians crossed the Egyptian – Gazan border, dancing and celebrating Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza. Egyptian soldiers first fired warning shots into the air, before firing in the direction of the crowds crossing into Egypt.
I don't think the Paleos understand the meaning of 'warning shots'. Head-high shots, however, they understand.
Palestinian security forces stood on the side and did not act to restrain the crowds, and failed to prevent the chaotic scenes.
Nope. Surprise meter didn't twitch.
In Kfar Darom, dozens of gunmen from the Popular Front wondered around unchallenged by Palestinian Authority security forces, who sat underneath trees in silence.
I'm not gonna arrest them. You arrest them.
Foreign Minister Silvan slammed the burning of Gaza synagogues, characterizing it as “a barbaric act by people who have no respect for holy places.”
Unless it's one of the 23769 holy places of islam.
I don't think that was meant for domestic consumption.
