Helmeted riot officers with dogs used batons to beat the bonnets of Egyptian cars and trucks offering trips to Palestinians seeking goods in towns out of walking range.

Dozens of Egyptian guards pushed their way through the crowds but did nothing to halt the thousands of Palestinians moving over the wreckage of a metal wall brought down by explosives on Wednesday.
