Palestinian Arab gangsters, posing as a vaguely defined political movement, stole two bulldozers and attacked the border wall between Gaza and Egypt.
"A Palestinian policeman said the militants broke through the wall."
For analysis on the ongoing disaster that is Gaza, see Martin Peretz's fine piece Mayhem in Gaza.
Update: Amazing. What Arabic for chaos?
"As many as 300 Palestinians crossed into Egypt after the wall was smashed, an Egyptian security official said. Brig. Adel Fawzi, director of criminal investigation for North Sinai, said border police were unable to stop the intruders because they had no orders to shoot. An Egyptian armored vehicle was set on fire and at least three Palestinians were reported injured, one seriously when an Egyptian troop carrier crushed him against a wall, witnesses said."
Update 2, Gaza vs. Egypt: Palestinians shot and killed 2 Egyptian security guards. They wounded 30 others. The Egyptians are now firing back. "The scene was one of utter chaos, with Palestinians setting fire to car tires. An Egyptian armored vehicle was burning and hundreds of Palestinians could be seen crouched in farm fields just inside Egypt. ...
Palestinians were firing automatic weapons and shotguns. ... Egyptian troops were forced to pull back one kilometer from the border. ...
Officials variously estimated between 300 and 3,000 Palestinians rushed through the border... Shortly after the Palestinians breached the barrier, Egyptian officials cut electricity to the crossing point and imposed a curfew."

Glad to have you back, Thomas.
Who wants to take bets on the bullets that killed the soldiers were smuggled into Gaza through Egypt just in the last couple of months.
Ah...Gaza, the new killing field.

This is great. Let Egypt deal with the murdering mobs. Then when they kill a bunch of them, the West can scream 'massacre!' Well, we will on the blogs, but the MSM will describe it as a misunderstanding and tragedy.
In just a few months, Gaza has become total chaos and anarchy. But what is Condi doing? Whistling past the graveyard as she pushes for scheduled bus trips through Israel for these crazy, violent cult. ANd America invites these terrorists to immigrate. The world is crazy.
