Palestinian Terrorists Strike Gaza Border Crossing

This morning, Palestinian terrorists fired three mortars on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing. The mortars struck a truck and a van on their way to deliver goods to the people of Gaza. Following the shooting, activity at the crossing was suspended for just a few minutes. After evaluating the situation, operations continued at the crossing, allowing goods to be transferred from Israel into the Gaza Strip.
