Dozens hurt on Gaza-Egypt border
Egyptian riot police and armored vehicles restricted Gaza motorists to a small border area of Egypt on Saturday, in the second attempt in two days to restore some control over the chaotic frontier which was breached by Hamas earlier in the week.

At least 36 members of the Egyptian security forces have been hospitalized, some in critical condition, as a result of cross-border confrontations, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said.

The minister complained of "provocations" at the border, a thinly veiled reprimand of Hamas, and said that while Egypt is ready to ease the suffering of Gazans, this should not endanger Egyptian lives.
