“People staged the demonstration at this particular crossing located at Israeli-Egyptian borders, demanding Gilad Shalit’s release, who was captured by Palestinian activists in June, 2006,” Israel Radio said.

The radio said the protestors vowed to disrupt entry of supplies to Gaza, as they sealed the crossing early Sunday, preventing trucks from entering.

Meanwhile, the ongoing talks between Hamas and Israel under Egyptian mediation are still “rocky” with regard of reaching a prisoners’ swap agreement.
