Bethlehem Ma'an - More than 9,000 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, including Hamas members, have disappeared into Egyptian cities, following the toppling of the Egyptian border near Rafah crossing on January 23, Major General Ahmed Abdel Hamid, Governor of North Sinai, revealed on Friday.

He said that the Egyptian security services are intensifying their efforts to arrest the 9,000, who have melted away into Egyptian cities and villages, before they carry out any 'criminal operations.'

Oh, no, I'm sure they're just sightseeing n'...stuff.
