Hamas militants have destroyed a section of a concrete barrier erected along 
the Gaza-Egypt border.
Palestinian and Egyptian troops have been trying to shore up the barrier to 
stop Palestinians crossing into Egypt after the withdrawal of Israeli 
troops. In chaotic scenes, thousands of Palestinians have streamed over the 
border in the last few days without undergoing official checks.
Despite this, Egypt says that its Gaza border is officially closed.
Militants from Hamas cleared an area before setting off explosives that blew 
away a section of the wall. Palestinian security officers present did 
nothing to prevent them. A local Hamas commander warned them not to try to 
intervene, the AFP news agency reported.
