Gaza blockade in reverse: Hamas fortifies Egyptian border against Libyan infiltrators
While complaining to the world about the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip, four days ago, Hamas began building fortifications to block the territory's western boundary with Egyptian Sinai, debkafile's military sources report.
