Egyptian troops patrol the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt as they keep an eye on Hamas forces in 2016. Members of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas' security forces are gathering, as Hamas began increasing its forces, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on April 21, 2016. Hamas began deploying additional forces on the Gaza border with Egypt, the interior ministry said, in an apparent effort to ease Cairo's concerns about security.
