Hamas announced on one of its web sites that the plan to rush the Egyptian border published by the Egyptian Al-Ahram newspaper Tuesday is false.
Calling the report "unfounded lies," Hamas spokesman Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, said the newspaper's report about deploying mortar launchers along the Egyptian-Gaza border is "sheer fabrication that can be verified by any journalist visiting the border areas."
Dr. Abu Zuhri claimed the report is an "attempt to influence the Egyptian public opinion and prevent it from supporting the Palestinian cause, and on the other hand, to incite Egyptian soldiers at the borders against the Palestinians."
