TEL AVIV, August 26 (RIA Novosti) - Israel closed border crossings with the Gaza Strip after two rockets were fired into the country last night, an Israeli radio station said on Tuesday.
Kol Israel said Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered the closure of the border crossings with the Palestinian enclave late on Monday after two rockets fell in Sderot, southern Israel. The rockets did not cause casualties or damage.
Occasional rocket attacks from the Palestinian enclave, controlled by radical group Hamas, have continued despite a ceasefire agreed on in June. Israel usually responds by shutting border crossings with Gaza, and preventing humanitarian supplies to the region, home to 1.5 million people.
