Defense Minister Ehud Barak Tuesday evening decided that the road crossings into Gaza will remain closed on Wednesday.
In response to the past two weeks of increased Gazan Arab rocket launches at Israeli towns within range, Israel's defense ministry has more often closed the border crossings into Gaza, limiting the amount of goods allowed in. Many of the goods taken in are used by Hamas toward attacking Israel or improving the terrorist infrastructure.
Also, Hamas terrorists have repeatedly attacked soldiers at the border crossings.
