Crossfire War: Rafah Terminal Seized by Palestinian Militants
By Willard Payne
TEHRAN WATCH: Middle East Theatre; Egyptian - Gaza Border - Rafah Terminal Seized by Palestinian Militants - European Monitors Left for Israel
Night Watch: EGYPTIAN - GAZA BORDER - Threats by Palestinian militants to "cleanse" the Rafah terminal border crossing between Egypt and Gaza were carried out when the militants took control of the terminal and its European monitors withdrew to Israel. [

According to Debka, chaos had always been the rule ever since the negotiations, conducted by Washington-Cairo-Jerusalem-Gaza City, were made supposedly to finalize agreements that led to Israel withdrawing their settlers from Gaza. As stated at crossfirewar.com at the time they were pulled out of the line of fire.
The arrangements never worked despite glowing statements from the respective governments whose states of mind dwell on the highest plane of unreality, that's why they use words like cusp, as they convince themselves they are just about to embark on a glorious mission. They constantly try to beam the impression that whatever they do it is for the good of all people everywhere.
In reality they are accident prone and leave destruction in their wake, a business boom to the weapons industry that sponsors their leadership career. When they are dead they'll realize the lie they had lived and led. Death for them will be extremely illuminating. For those who remain, there will be a lot of pieces to pick up.
The Islamic militants that took over the terminal were headed by Jemal Abu Sema Dana along with elements of Fatah's al-Aqsa Brigade. I suspect the organizations, and with the full support of Damascus-Beirut-Tehran will now be able to move weaponry into Gaza and beyond more easily until Israel invades the area to increase her security.
