So no, Israel isn't blocking that

Try crossing a bridge as a bomb lands on it.

Have they bombed the bridge crossing?

Yes.

Are there articles about that? Because them bombing the border crossing would obviously be a clear thing of them causing the border to be partly blocked.

I absolutely agree.

Can I see?

I'm not sure what part you meant since the article talks about how they can't flee not because of the bombing but because the border is closed by Egypt

Egypt has refused to open its doors to those fleeing Gaza — in part because it doesn’t want to be seen as aiding Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians but also because it doesn’t want a massive refugee crisis within its borders.

The border isn't closed. Refugees have been crossing for days.

Your article just said people can't get over because of Egypt

My article said the crossing was being bombed a week ago, which you disputed.

Gaza residents have been crossing the border for the last three days.

I thought your claim was that they're not crossing because of the bombing, but in the article you linked they're saying they're still trying to cross and the the reason they're unable to is Egypt.
