Israel seals Erez Crossing, including to journalists
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Erez Crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip has been sealed in the wake of continued rocket fire from Gaza Sunday, Israel’s Government Press Office says.
“Due to violations of the humanitarian truce by Hamas, entry and exit into/from the Gaza Strip via Erez Crossing has been postponed until further notice. The situation will be reassessed this afternoon in accordance with developments,” reads the notice sent to journalists.
For journalists, this means they will not be able to enter or leave the Strip until further notice.
“Journalists wishing to enter Gaza are requested to remain at the entrance to kibbutz Yad Mordechai; those wishing to leave Gaza are requested to remain at their hotel,” the GPO says.
