Egyptian border guards moved to close the border with the Gaza Strip today, forming a human shield and blocking movement of Palestinians into Egypt with riot shields, eye witnesses said.

The Egyptians were allowing passage only to Palestinians seeking to return to the strip after visiting Egypt, in the wake of the demolition of large stretches of the border wall by Hamas militants on Wednesday night.
