Deliberate Rocket Fire on Israel's Goods Crossing into Gaza
Intentional rocket fire by Hamas causes the closure of Kerem Shalom crossing, through which humanitarian aid passes into Gaza.
Starting at 06:00 (Sunday, 10 August 2014), several rockets were intentionally fired at Kerem Shalom, hitting working areas at the crossing. Despite this, the transfer of goods continued until the afternoon hours; over 30 trucks laden with humanitarian equipment entered the Gaza Strip.
At approximately 12:30, an additional barrage of rockets was fired, directly hitting the crossing compound. It was decided not to endanger the workers at the site and to halt the transfer of goods until further notice.
