Hamas Liberating Egyptian Territory?

From the Jerusalem Post:

The Egyptians have also foiled an attempt by Hamas members to raise Palestinian and Hamas flags on top of several government institutions in Sinai’s Rafah and el-Arish.

Al-Ahram reported that the attempt to place the flags was seen as a serious “provocation” by many Egyptians. . . .

One diplomat told the Post that Hamas supporters were trying to create the impression that they had succeeded in “liberating” Egyptian territory.
