Israel reopens people, goods crossings to Gaza: statement
JERUSALEM, Oct 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman
ordered Sunday that Israel’s goods and people border crossings with Gaza be
opened, just four days after ordering them closed following a Palestinian
rocket attack.
“The decision comes after a decrease in the violent events in Gaza over the
weekend and efforts (militant Islamist Gaza rulers) Hamas made to restrain”
demonstrators, a statement from Lieberman’s office read.
