Rocket Hits Building on Egyptian Side of Rafah Crossing at Gaza

Ohoh. This is going to be interesting. A rocket hit inside Egypt today at the Rafah Crossing into Gaza and reports are that an Egyptian technical team is rushing to see whose missile it was. Two possible scenarios:

1. The Israelis were conducting some air raids in that area of Gaza and a stray Israeli rocket may have landed in Egypt
2. Hamas may have send the missile off and it hit in Egypt

Now the short report of this is coming from a Chinese service called ChinaView and I don't know if the mention of Israeli air raids going on was the news service's own propaganda spin and they just "conveniently" left out the fact that Hamas was firing off missiles or not. At the same time, if the Egyptians find it is a missile from Hamas, will they say that? or would it be more convenient to say it was an Israeli missile. I don't know - I think Egypt is more worried at this time what Hamas and al Qaeda in Gaza have up their sleeve than they are with Israel. But it will be interesting to see this report when it comes out.

Rocket hits Egyptian building at Rafah crossing

CAIRO, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- A rocket landed on Sunday at the Egyptian side of Rafah crossing at the border with the Gaza Strip, causing damage to an Egyptian building, the official MENA news agency reported.
The rocket knocked down a wall of the building at the border crossing, said MENA, without report of casualties.
According to the report, an expert technical committee rushed to the scene of the accident and was trying to find out where the rocket was made and who had launched it.
Israeli forces were carrying out air raids near Rafah crossing in southern Gaza Strip.
The Rafah terminal, Gaza's only door to the outside world bypassing Israel, has been kept closed since last June when Hamas militants routed rival Fatah's security forces and seized the coast strip.
On Jan. 23, Hamas militants blew up the border fence between Gaza and Egypt, allowing hundreds of thousands of Gazans to pour into Egyptian border towns to stock up on food and fuel.
