Israel closes Gaza border crossings for Jewish festivities

Sunday 9-June-2019

The Israeli occupation army on Sunday closed the border crossings of Karam Abu Salem and Beit Hanoun (Erez) at the pretext of Jewish celebrations.

The public relations and media office at the Karam Abu Salem crossing stated in a press release that the commercial crossing would be closed to the movement of cargo trucks for several days.

The Beit Hanoun crossing will also be closed and passengers will not be allowed to travel during the Jewish celebrations.

The Karam Abu Salem crossing in southern Gaza is an important point for the entry of goods into the besieged coastal territory while Erez is the only restricted crossing for people especially patients and foreign visitors who need to travel between Gaza and the occupied Israeli territories after receiving certain permits.
