The crossing was already closed after a rocket attack by Hamas fighters over the weekend killed four Israeli soldiers in the area. Diplomatic correspondent
Hamas's armed wing, which claimed responsibility for Sunday's rocket attack, said in a statement that it had "targeted the gathering of enemy forces" at Kerem Shalom in today's latest attack. In diplomatic terms, the most interesting question now is what
The Israeli Defense Forces posted on X that sirens had sounded in the Kerem Shalom crossing area, after "launches were fired from Gaza". the Americans say and do.
Because overnight their briefers have been very, very
cautious, refusing to say anything substantive about the Hamas announcement,
