Egyptian security on Monday released 21 Palestinians, who where arrested within the two weeks when the border with Gaza had been breached, and sent them back into the strip, a local security official said.

The 21 were released at noon and escorted by scores of Egyptian security forces to the border where they were handed over to Hamas, the official said on the customary condition of anonymity.
