Israel reopens only terminal on Gaza-Egypt's borders

The Israel Army reopened on Thursday the southern Gaza Strip's passage with Egypt before Palestinian travelers, after a closure that lasted for four consecutive days.

Palestinian sources said that the Israeli army reopened the Rafah terminal before Palestinians, but all Palestinians aged below 35 were not allowed access into the terminal. Meanwhile, the Israel Army closed on Thursday the Abu Holi military roadblock in central Gaza Strip, separating the northern and southern parts of the strip.

The sources said that the Israeli army is detaining hundreds of Palestinians between the two sides of the roadblock while thousands are stranded on the sides of the roadblock, waiting to be allowed access to their workplaces.

In the meantime, the Israeli army still holds a tight grip on the entrances and exists of northern Strip's town of Beit Hanoun, while Israeli military bulldozers still raze and demolish Palestinians' lands and properties.
