Palestinians cross into Egypt after militants destroy border

Palestinians cross into Egypt after militants destroyed a border wall between Gaza and Egypt at Rafah refugee camp, southern Gaza Strip on January 23, 2008. Hundreds of Gazans poured into Egypt after militants set off at least five explosions along the walled-off border of the Hamas-ruled Gaza, witnesses said. The forced entry came as Israel has imposed a months-long blockade of the impoverished territory that was tightened last week to a full-scale lockdown. (UPI Photo/Ismael Mohamad)
