RAFAH CROSSING : With Hosni Mubarak regime gone Hundreds of Palestinians headed to this desert border crossing Saturday morning to be the first to enter Egypt under newly eased restrictions for residents of the Gaza Strip.
Egypt announced that it would open the Rafah crossing after the Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas signed a reconciliation accord in Cairo early this month. The border opening had been offered as an inducement to Hamas to sign the pact.
