A group of Palestinians has stormed the Rafah crossing at the Egyptian border with the Palestinian enclave Gaza Strip, the pan-Arab al-Jazeera TV channel reported Wednesday.
The TV footage shows that some Palestinians are throwing rocks at Egyptian troops from the Palestinian side of the border crossing.
The Egyptian forces use water cannons to keep the Palestinians from crossing into the Egyptian side.
The border crossing, which was opened temporarily on Tuesday for humanitarian cases, has been closed after the incident.
Witnesses said the Palestinians were angry because only a limited number of them have been allowed to cross the border crossing.
