The military says it received reports of gunfire directed at a vehicle with Palestinian workers in it on the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing earlier today.

Several wounded Palestinians were treated by IDF medics in the area, the military says.

“The circumstances of the shooting are being investigated,” the IDF says.

This morning, Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom Crossing for aid trucks, after it was closed for several days following a deadly Hamas rocket attack on troops in the area.
