Israel closes Kerem Shaloum crossing

Gaza--(MOI)
Israeli occupation authorities announced Sunday Kerem Shaloum crossing to the south-east of the Gaza Strip is closed except for fuel supplies.

Nazmi Muhanna, the head of crossings department, said in a press release that the Israeli authorities informed the Palestinians side of the order.

Following the missing of three Israeli settlers , Israeli occupation issued orders to close Erez crossing to the north of Gaza and Kerem Shaloum crossing to the south of Gaza. The move is claimed to prevent transferring the lost settlers to Gaza.

Kerem Shaloum crossing is the sole trade crossing that allows goods and aids into the besieged Gaza Strip.
