Israel Reopens Gaza Crossings

Sunday, June 22, 2008

Erez and Karni crossings, Israel on Sunday June 22, 2008. Karni and Erez crossings reopened for the entering of humanitarian supplies today as part of the truce deal between Israel and the Palestinian terror groups. The parents of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit petitioned the High Court of Justice in Jerusalem Saturday evening block a truce deal with Hamas as long as their son remains in captivity. Noam and Aviva Schalit petitioned the court claiming that part of the deal included opening the Gaza Strip\'s crossings. They said this would allow their son\'s captors to smuggle him out and harm efforts to free him. All photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye.
