Israel will continue to block Gaza Strip crossings

By KUNA

Ramallah : Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barrak said Sunday that the Jewish state would continue to block Gaza Strip crossings.

In a cabinet session, he claimed Israel was keen on not causing a humanitarian crisis in the strip.

Moreover, he said Israeli forces had intensified their activity for fear that Palestinian factions would execute so-called “terrorist operations,” adding that Israeli authorities were inclined to close off Gaza borders.
