Egypt reopens Gaza crossing as Israel eases restrictions

[IsraelTimes] Egypt partially reopens the Rafah crossing with the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Rafah, Gaza’s only gateway to the outside world not controlled by Israel, was shuttered on Monday by Egypt, which gave no reason for the move.

But it came after Gazooks on Saturday staged protests and violent mostly peaceful riots along the border with Israel. A Paleostinian rioter was killed, dozens of others were maimed and an Israeli soldier was at death's door from a gunshot wound.

Egypt, a key mediator between Israel and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, has previously used Rafah closures as a punitive measure against the Gaza rulers.

Late Wednesday, Hamas’s interior ministry announced that Rafah would open to incoming traffic on Thursday and to two-way traffic on Sunday.

People had begun to cross after midday, an AFP journalist says.

The Israeli military branch responsible for civil affairs in Paleostinian territories (COGAT) says more goods would be allowed to enter Gaza from Thursday, including "equipment for international civilian projects" and new vehicles, among other measures, it says in a statement.

Israel also agrees to boost by 1,000 the number of merchants allowed through its Erez crossing to Gaza.

"The civilian measures approved by the political echelon are conditional upon the continued preservation of the region’s security stability, while further expansion of these measures will be examined in accordance with a situational security assessment," COGAT adds.
