      Gaza Crossings Closed After Weekend Attacks


      Crossing points into Gaza will remain closed tomorrow, as a result of weekend attacks against Israel by Gaza Arab terrorists. In an attack on the Nachal Oz army base, an IDF soldier was seriously injured, two others were moderately wounded.

      Speaking to a Beersheva audience Saturday, deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna'i said that Israel was "very close to a major action in Gaza, different than the ones we have conducted in the past. We have to find the right time to do it. Unfortunately the ongoing provocations do not give us much choice," he said.
