Israeli warplanes have been flying over Egyptian
territory during their bombing runs along the border
between Gaza and Egypt, witnesses said on Sunday.
The witnesses, who have spent many hours close to the Rafah crossing point between Egypt and Gaza, said they had seen the Israeli planes fly over on several occasions, often at such low altitude that it was clear they were over Egyptian territory.
The three witnesses, who are not involved in the conflict, said they wanted to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the matter.
The Egyptian government has faced a barrage of criticism for cooperating with Israel in the blockade of Gaza over the past six months .
Nothing new here when you hear that the Israeli military spokesman had no immediate comment. Egyptian Defense Ministry officials either were unavailable or had no comment on the reports.
