Egypt and their illegal immigrant issue

When Egyptians don't want you to sneak in to Israel, they shoot you.

If you are Palestinian and tear down the wall erected between Egypt and Gaza, they will run in fear, especially if you get in to Egypt so you can turn around and sneak in to Egypt elsewhere.

But an Eritrean woman was shot in the head as she tried to climb over barbed wire.

Feb 13 - dailystaregypt.com Hamas fires at Egyptian builders to prevent new wall.
Egypt is trying to build a concrete wall the entire distance across the border with Gaza and put troops on its border with Gaza. Hamas apparently doesn't like that idea and shoots Egyptians when they try to build the wall.

Reuters, Feb 18. Egyptian police have rounded up some 500 Palestinians ... of more than 3000 who broke in to Egypt in January. The police are raiding apartments and chalets in north Sinai in search of the Palestinians. The nearest town to the entry point from Gaza, where police know many Palestinians are hiding, is Sheikh Zuweid. On February 17, police uncovered 220 lbs of explosives in three sacks buried near the town.


Now ... why would a small farmer living in a dirt outpost near Gaza need 220 lbs of explosives?
