Egyptian border guards on Wednesday night arrested six African migrants trying to cross illegally into Israel.
An Egyptian security official said that two men, three woman and a child from Eritrea and Ethiopia were caught around eight kilometers south of Rafah, the main Egypt-Gaza crossing.
The official said the migrants allegedly paid $500 to human traffickers for shelter in the Egyptian desert and a ride to the Israeli border. Guards shot at the migrants to stop them but reportedly none were hurt.
