Israel has opened its border crossings with the Gaza Strip after closing them once again because of Palestinian rocket fire. According to the AP, Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner said the crossings opened Sunday morning and that food, fuel and cement are being sent into Gaza. He stated Palestinians seeking medical treatment are also being allowed into Israel.
Israel and Hamas reached a calm agreement on June 19. Under the deal, Israel agreed to reopen the crossings to allow much-needed goods into Gaza Strip.
Gaza's Hamas government conveyed it is expecting around 80 trucks to enter the Strip Sunday.© 2008 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)
