Israel reopens Gaza crossings, shut since launch of Operation Shield and Arrow

[IsraelTimes] COGAT announces ’partial and gradual’ opening of Erez Crossing for pedestrians and Kerem Shalom Crossing for goods as well as reopening of coastal waters for 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 ...

Israel announced Sunday morning that it was gradually reopening its Gaza Strip border crossings, as a fragile ceasefire with Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
Continued from Page 2
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
held overnight after five days of fighting.
The Erez Crossing for pedestrians opened at 8 a.m. and the Kerem Shalom Crossing was slated to open at 11 a.m., the Unit for Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced. Both crossings were shuttered once the IDF launched Operation Shield and Arrow early Tuesday morning in response to PIJ rocket fire earlier this month.
The statement from COGAT, which serves as the military liaison to the Paleostinians, said the crossing reopening would be "partial and gradual" without elaborating. It also said that it was reopening the maritime area for Gaza fishermen, which is similarly constricted or blocked entirely during times of fighting.
Currently, the designated Gaza fishing zone extends 15 nautical miles from the coast of the Paleostinian enclave, the largest it has been since the naval blockade began in 2008. In response to rocket attacks, Israel has at times reduced the zone to six or even three nautical miles. And in times of war, the fishing zone is closed off entirely.
The decision to reopen the crossing came less than a day after COGAT said that PIJ had launched dozens of mortars at the Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings, which would prevent Israel from reopening the border.
"The rocket fire at the crossings, as well as the failed rocket fire, harms the residents of the Gaza Strip," its statement said. The Saturday blurb also included footage of a PIJ-fired projectile slamming into one of the crossings.
The Egyptian-brokered ceasefire went into effect at 10 p.m. on Saturday, putting a stop to five days of intense fighting that saw over 1,200 rockets launched at Israel as the Israeli military respond by targeting Islamic Jihad members, command centers, rocket launchers and capabilities in the Paleostinian enclave.
Two civilians in Israel were killed by Islamic Jihad rockets since the IDF launched the operation — an Israeli woman in Rehovot and a Paleostinian man from Gaza who was working in a greenhouse near the southern agricultural community of Shokeda.
Israel has killed 18 Islamic Jihad operatives in addition to at least 10 Paleostinian civilians, an IDF official said Saturday. The Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-run Gaza health ministry put the corpse count at 33, but the IDF official noted that some Gaza civilians were likely killed by Islamic Jihad rockets that landed inside the Strip.
Israel and Egypt have placed tight controls on movement in and out of Gaza for a decade and a half. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent Gaza’s terror groups from being able to arm themselves.
Rights groups, however, lament the blockade’s impact on civilians in the impoverished enclave. Roughly half of Gazooks are unemployed, including many young people with college degrees.
