Kerem Shalom crossing closed
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe border crossing at Kerem Shalom in the southern Gaza Strip is closed by the Defense Ministry after rockets were fired in its direction, Ynet reports.
The Border Crossings Authority says that trucks carrying flammable material were nearly struck by rockets, prompting the decision to shut the crossing.
The Kerem Shalom border crossing had stayed open throughout most of the conflict, and trucks carrying medical supplies from Israel have regularly crossed into the Strip in order to transfer aids to the Palestinians in Gaza.
