The Israeli occupation authorities on Saturday announced the closure of all border crossings with the Gaza Strip as well as the fishing zone off the coast of the besieged enclave.
A Palestinian Liaison official said that they were informed by the Israeli authorities that the closure will start at 4:00 pm and last until further notice.
Only a few days ago Israel decided to reduce the permitted fishing zone in Gaza to six nautical miles in violation of recent understandings.
Tension has escalated in the Gaza Strip after four Palestinians were killed and 51 others injured in Israeli attacks on the Great March of Return protesters and several resistance posts since Friday.
The Palestinian resistance groups responded by firing rockets toward Israeli settlements neighboring the Gaza Strip.
