The Gaza crossing points will be open today according to IDF sources.  This is in spite of the fact that the “Color Red” alarm system was activated yesterday (which indicates a possible Kassam launch). No Kassam impact points were identified as of yet in the Gaza Belt communities.

Hamas is expected to send a special delegation out of Gaza to Egypt in the coming days. According to Arab sources, the delegation will include members of the terrorist unit holding captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.
