Gaza borders open but Rafah shut

Jul 2 - As Israel opens Gaza border crossing, Palestinians attempt to breach Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, clash with Egyptian forces.

Israel opened the Gaza crossings for the shipment of supplies, including cement for the first time in a year, after Gaza militants halted rocket attacks on southern Israel.

At the same time clashes erupted at the Rafah crossing into Egypt as Palestinians hurled stones at the Egyptian security forces positioned on the other side of the crossing and tried to force their way through.

Egyptian forces used water cannon on the crowds.
