Israel closes Gaza crossings for Jewish holiday

Israeli occupation forces on Monday closed Karam Abu Salem and Erez crossings under the pretext of Jewish holidays.

The closure would impact the supply of diesel as well as the entry of sufficient quantities of cooking gas to the enclave and increase the suffering of the residents of the beleaguered Strip.

Karem Abu Salem is the only commercial crossing through which goods and fuel enter the Gaza Strip.

The General Authority of Crossings and Borders in Gaza Strip announced Sunday that the Israeli occupation forces will close Erez crossing and would allow only humanitarian cases on Friday.
