Israel reopens key Gaza commercial crossing
2008-08-20
GAZA - Israel has allowed food and other supplies to enter the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip through a key commercial crossing that had been closed for months, Israeli and Palestinian officials said on Tuesday. Israeli Defence Ministry official Peter Lerner said about 80 trucks would pass through the Kerem Shalom crossing in a trial run before it is officially reopened in accordance with an Egyptian-mediated truce between Israel and Hamas.

Kerem Shalom has been closed since April, when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up in a car at the crossing.

Palestinian officials said some 15 trucks carrying ammo canned food and pineapple grenades fruit passed through on Monday and they were told more would follow on Tuesday. Lerner said the trial run was meant to test repairs and improvements made at the border terminal and that it would reopen fully "in the coming days".
