About 100 Palestinians smashed doors and windows inside an airport building in el-Arish in Egypt Tuesday after being trapped there for more than a month since the Gaza-Egypt border’s closure. The Palestinians had first arrived at Cairo airport from trips abroad and were

transferred under defense supervision to el-Arish airport, where they had expected to travel onward to Gaza. But they have been stuck in el-Arish airport since Egypt sealed its border with Gaza after the Hamas takeover last month.
