[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - Senior Israeli defense officials warned on Wednesday that Egypt's opening of the Rafah crossing on Tuesday may have allowed Palestinian terrorists to cross back into Gaza after undergoing terror training abroad. Egyptian officials said they had opened the crossing to allow Egyptians stuck in Gaza for the past two months to return to Egypt. However, Palestinian trucks and vehicles in Sinai were also allowed to return to Gaza, an Egyptian official said. "It is likely that there are terrorists who are using the opening as an opportunity to travel abroad or to return to Gaza," a defense official said. "They are probably returning not empty-handed, but with money and maybe even weaponry."
