Palestinians try to halt invasion of Egypt

Reuters:

Hundreds of Palestinian policemen were deployed near the Egypt-Gaza border on Saturday to stop a flow of people who broke through the frontier and crossed over to Egypt after Israel completed its pullout from the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas vowed earlier to seal the border and stop lawlessness in Gaza which has worsened after Israel's withdrawal from the territory after 38 years of occupation.

Hundreds of Palestinian policemen in buses and jeeps arrived at Gaza's border with Egypt to join hundreds of officers who had started massing, witnesses said.

A Palestinian security source said hundreds more have been called in as well. Israel ceded control of a buffer zone on the frontier to Egypt as part of its Gaza withdrawal.

But the 750 Egyptian officers who were deployed there were unable to stop thousands of Palestinians and Egyptians from crossing over to the other side in recent days through holes militants had blasted through a barrier after the pullout.

More on the Palestinian mob of 5000.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
