Hamas official hints at another Gaza border breach
By The Associated Press
Tags: Gaza, Egypt, border breach 

A leading Hamas official says Gazans will storm into Egypt and Israel if they don't lift their embargo of the territory.

Khalil al-Haya says Palestinians in Gaza can no longer bear being confined to the strip and subjected to shortages of food, power and substandard health care.

In January, Palestinians breached their southern border and poured into Egypt, buying up everything in sight.

Al-Haya says Palestinians will do it again, and might breach other borders - a clear reference to Gaza's borders with Israel.

Israel imposed the blockade to try to pressure Gaza militants to halt rocket barrages into neighboring Jewish communities. Egypt has kept its side of the border closed since Islamic Hamas militants seized control of Gaza in June.
