EU BORDER MONITORS IN GAZA SEEK ISRAELI HELP WITH ESCAPE ROUTE

EU Border Monitors in Gaza Seek Escape Route - Yaakov Katz (Jerusalem Post)
Fearing for their lives, EU monitors stationed at the Rafah Crossing that connects Gaza and Egypt have asked Israel for help in drawing up escape routes from Gaza in the event of an attack on the border terminal. The monitors, led by Italian Maj.-Gen. Pietro Pistolese, have raised concerns in recent weeks for their safety following a series of threats to their lives. Several weeks ago a large bomb was discovered on a route used by the monitors to drive through Gaza.
