Arab terrorists have forced the closing of the Karni Crossing, a passage for humanitarian aid, by continuing rocket, mortar and gunfire. More aid was to be shipped through the crossing Wednesday afternoon. Earlier in the day, authorities shut down the Nahal Oz fuel depot after terrorists fired a rocket that wounded an Arab worker on the Gaza side of the crossing.

Three mortar shells exploded near the Gaza separation barrier, and terrorists shot at an army patrol near the Sufa Crossing. No one was injured.
