Palestinians break into Gaza border crossing, damage gas pipelines
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDozens of Palestinians have broken into the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip, the army says.
The IDF shares video of the incident, during which Palestinians damaged pipelines carrying gas and oil that the army says is meant for residents of Gaza.
“This is a cynical act that harms the welfare of Gaza residents and the humanitarian efforts carried out by Israel and many other countries,” the army says.
Kerem Shalom is the main crossing for goods and humanitarian to pass into Strip from Israel.
בשעה זו כמה עשרות מפרי סדר משחיתים ומציתים מוקדים בצדו הפלסטיני של מעבר הסחורות בכרם שלום. הפורעים פוגעים בצינורות הגז ובדלק המועברים מישראל לרצועת עזה ומיועדים לשימוש תושבי רצועת עזה https://t.co/4vqZfrczk1 pic.twitter.com/7p0Lm1ZECZ
