A dramatic confrontation unfolded in Egypt as video footage captured clashes between Egyptian locals and a pro-Hamas crowd attempting to reach the Gaza border. The footage, now circulating widely across social media, shows heated altercations, with shouting, shoving, and scuffles erupting as tensions boiled over in the streets.
The pro-Hamas group, reportedly made up of demonstrators and activists voicing support for Palestinians in Gaza, had planned to advance toward the Rafah border crossing—a strategic and often contentious gateway between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
