First, the wall comes down ,and then the leadership

Gaza – Ma'an – Tens of thousands of Palestinians crossed the border into Egypt on Wendesday after masked Palestinian fighters destroyed a portion of the border wall between Egypt and the Gaza Strip using explosives.

Egyptian security forces stood by and did not confront the Palestinians.Most of the Gaza Strip's 1.5 million residents have been trapped inside the Gaza Strip since the zionists closed the Gaza Strip's border crossings in June.

Ma'an's reporter said that the Gazans began stocking up on supplies from Egyptian stores in the town of Al-Arish. Some bought cement at 27 Egyptian pounds per sack. A sack of the same size costs 150 NIS, or more than five times the price in Egypt. At times, even the cement needed to make tombs for the dead has been scarce in the Gaza Strip.
