Gaza - Israel opened crossing points into Gaza Strip on Thursday, after closing them for two days because of rocket attacks from the salient. The decision to reopen the crossings was made after Defence Minister Ehud Barak met with military chiefs, Israel Radio said.
No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the rocket attack Monday afternoon, which violated an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire between Israel andGaza militias.
Under the ceasefire, Israel has been gradually easing its closure of the Strip, allowing more trucks with bearing goods into the salient. But Israeli officials have said thepace of the flow of goods into the Strip is dependent on the truce being adhered to.
