Ismailia: A shell or rocket hit the Egyptian side of the crossing point with Gaza on Sunday, knocking down a wall at an Egyptian government administrative building, security sources said. There were no injuries.
At the time the projectile landed, Israeli forces were carrying out a military operation in the Palestinian side of the town.
The Rafah crossing is where tens of thousands of Palestinians broke through into Egypt last month to seek relief from the blockade imposed by Israel.
Egypt has since resealed the border but it has been holding talks with Hamas, which controls Gaza, on how the border might reopen.
