Israel reopened the crossings into the Gazoo Strip on Sunday morning, allowing people and goods in and out of the coastal enclave, following a decrease in the amount of violence along the border

The IDF said a number of explosives and grenades had been set off during festivities on Friday and that Paleostinians broke through the fence in three locations before immediately returning to the coastal enclave, with soldiers opening fire at the suspects in one case.
