Security forces hunting Gazan heading to Israel from Strip
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Egypt, Gaza, Palestinians 

Israeli security forces on Thursday were searching for a Palestinian man who escaped supervision at a Gaza border crossing and fled toward Israel, Army Radio reported.

The man had been given permission to cross from the Gaza Strip into Egypt through the Israeli-controlled Erez crossing for medical treatment, the radio said.

The border with Egypt has been a sensitive subject for the three sides, since Hamas militants breached a frontier wall at the Rafah crossing in late January.

Egypt has since sealed the border, and Israel's defense establishment has promised to set up a security wall along the length of the border within the coming years.

The crossings between Egypt and Gaza are a source of tension due to the consistet smuggling of weapons and people. Israel has called on Egypt to work against the smuggling
