Israel Closes Gaza Crossing to Repair Damage by Palestinian Rioters
(Times of Israel) Israel on Saturday announced the closure of the Kerem Shalom border crossing into Gaza, a day after Palestinian rioters caused immense damage to key infrastructure. Hundreds of cargo-bearing trucks pass through the checkpoint into Gaza each day, the only entry point for outside goods. The IDF said the crossing would remain closed until gas lines, electricity infrastructure, and a conveyor belt used to transfer goods can be repaired. The cost of repairing the damage is estimated at $9 million.
