Israel decided to reopen Karni Crossing and cargo terminal, eastern Gaza, to allow goods to move from and into Gaza Strip, Israeli forces announced Sunday. The Israeli army closed this crossing last Tuesday after Palestinian security aborted a planned bombing using a booby-trapped car. The crossing will be reopened in spite of intelligence of militants intending to target the crossing, a source told Radio Israel.The Israeli army also said Sunday it launched 250 mortar shells on North and East Gaza. The areas targeted are locations used by Palestinians to launch rockets on Israel, an Israeli army spokesman claimed. The spokesman added the shells did not target civilians but stressed Israel will punish those who attack it severely. Eight Palestinians including a woman, four children, and three young men were seriously injured due to shelling by the Israeli forces which lasted till late hours last night, Palestinian medical sources said.
