IDF says Gaza crossing to reopen after closure during tunnel destruction

The army announces that the Kerem Shalom Crossing into the Gaza Strip is scheduled to reopen tomorrow, after it was closed beginning on Sunday, when the army discovered and destroyed an attack tunnel that was dug underneath it.

“The [IDF’s] Southern Command completed the neutralization of the terror tunnel dug under the crossing and thwarted the threat it posed,” the army says in a statement.

“With the completion of the process and following an assessment of the situation, it was decided the crossing will reopen,” the military says.
