      Gaza Crossing Points Open Sunday


      Israeli authorities opened the Kerem Shalom and Nahal Oz border crossings into Gaza on Sunday, according to Palestinian Authority (PA) crossing official Raed Fattouh. Fattouh told Ma’an News that 45-55 trucks loaded with humanitarian, agricultural and commercial goods would be shipped through the Kerem Shalom crossing, while cooking gas and industrial diesel would enter through the Nahal Oz terminal.

      Rocket and weapon smuggling efforts in to Gaza by the Hamas terrorist group have forced Israel and Egypt to maintain strict control over the flow of goods into and out of the region.
