"Following mortar and rocket fire, the border crossings we had expected to open will remain closed," defence ministry spokesman Shlomo Dror said. He said the restriction covers all goods and people except the sick, who would be allowed to travel to and from the Hamas-run territory. A small Palestinian militant group, the Popular Resistance Comittees, said three of its fighters were wounded in the early hours after an Israeli incursion into central Gaza. The group said the incusion east of the Maghazi refugee camp prompted an exchange of fire and Israeli shelling of its fighters. Medical sources confirmed that they were treating three wounded Palestinians. There was no immediate word from the Israeli military on the incident. An Egyptian-brokered truce between Israel and the Hamas movement which rules the Gaza Strip went into force on June 19, but since November 4 there has been a spate of cross-border attacks. Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai warned on Saturday that a major incursion into Gaza was becoming more likely after militant mortar fire wounded seven soldiers at a nearby base on Friday. The attack was claimed by the Popular Resistance Committees. Three of its fighters were also wounded during an Israeli incursion into Gaza on Friday. Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz, who is also a deputy prime minister, called for tough measures against the Islamists of Hamas but no reoccupation of the territory where 1.5 million people live. "I have always opposed occupation of the Gaza Strip. What we need to do is to strike the leadership (of Hamas), strike the infrastructure and halt all deliveries of fuel and other goods," Mofaz told public radio. Israel has allowed food into the Gaza Strip on only three days since the flare-up of violence on November 4 prompted it to tighten its blockade of the aid-dependent territory. Israeli officials were also mulling what action to take against a Libyan cargo ship laden with almost 3,000 tonnes of goods that was headed to the Gaza Strip after weighing anchor on Wednesday. It is the first time that a foreign government has attempted to break the Israeli blockade, although pro-Palestinian activists have since August made three trips from Cyprus without being intercepted by the Israeli navy. "A ship like that is capable of carrying weapons no less than what was on the Karine A weapons boat that was seized," a security official told the Maariv newspaper in reference to a ship intercepted by the navy in 2002 and found to be transporting 50 tons of weaponry to Gaza. "From our perspective, it is a hostile ship that left from an enemy country and we will treat it accordingly," added the official, whom the paper did not identify. The official said it had been a mistake to let in the boats carrying pro-Palestinian activists. "We should have stopped those ships," he said. "The humane behaviour displayed by the foreign ministry is liable to end up sending terrorists or weaponry into Gaza by means of assistance ships of these kinds." Defence Minister Ehud Barak was to consult with the foreign ministry before deciding what action to take, the Maariv newspaper said.
