An Egyptian teen was arrested on Sunday, as he tried to sneak into Gaza to join suicide bombers there, the Interior Ministry said. The 16-year-old was arrested for a second time in six months at the Rafah crossing in Sinai and the ministry said “he confessed he wanted to meet with elements of Palestinian resistance in Gaza to explode himself in a suicide operation against the Israelis”. Following his prior arrest, the teenager had been returned to his family due to his young age. It wasn’t immediately clear what Egytian authorities will do this time, as people below 18 are considered minors. Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty in 1979, and the border has never been heavily fortified. In some places, it is not even clearly marked. Israel sends only mobile patrols through those areas, leaving the border wide open for smugglers to bring in contraband, drugs, illegal workers, prostitutes, and, most recently, refugees from Sudan. In July, Israel said about 2,800 people, including 1,160 Sudanese, crossed illegally from Egypt.
