GAZA, Saturday, April 23, 2022 (WAFA) – Israel announced today the closure of Gaza’s commercial and pedestrian crossings in a collective punishment move.

The Israeli occupation authorities said Beit Hanoun/Erez crossing in the north of the Gaza Strip, a pedestrian crossing, and Karm Abu Salem/Kerem Shalom commercial crossing in the south of the Gaza Strip will remain closed indefinitely as a punishment to Gaza’s two million-strong population claiming the action was taken after a couple of rockets were recently fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.

The closure means Gaza’s workers, businessmen or the ill will not be able to enter Israel on their way to the West Bank or Jerusalem, and goods, including basic food products, fuel and construction material, will not be allowed into the Gaza Strip.
