Tanzim Militants Take Control of Rafah Border Crossing
(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular- Several dozen armed militants belonging to Fatah's Tanzim wing in the Gaza Strip took control Saturday of the Rafah border crossing on the Palestinian side, where thousands of Palestinians in transit to Egypt have recently been forced to spend days and sometimes weeks waiting. The takeover was aimed at putting a stop to the long delays because many people can't afford the bribes to the transit clerks and can't fight off the hundreds of other residents trying to get their transit papers.
