Israel to keep access to Gaza Strip closed
AFP - 35 minutes ago
JERUSALEM, (AFP) - - Israel will keep all access to the Gaza Strip closed Tuesday, said an Israeli spokesman.
"This decision has been taken by the Defence Minister Ehud Barak because of the continued Palestinian rocket fire at southern Israel," Peter Lerner, of the office handling Israeli activities in the Palestinian territories, told AFP.
Six rockets fired from the Gaza Strip on Monday came down in the Negev desert, southern Israel, without causing any casualties, police said.
The attacks were the latest in and around the besieged Gaza Strip where Israeli forces and Palestinian militants have engaged in almost daily tit-for-tat attacks since November 4.
Israel did allow a humanitarian convoy comprising 33 aid trucks carrying food, medicine and medical equipment through to Gaza on Monday.
Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip from the Fatah movement of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in June 2007.
