Borders Continue to be Closed Along Gaza Strip

(04 July 08 - RV) Israel says it is keeping Gaza's border crossings closed in retaliation for a rocket attack yesterday.

All cargo passages remained shut today, after Palestinians fired the rocket from Gaza toward Israel.

No injuries were reported from that attack.

The cargo crossings have now been closed for a total of seven days - ever since a June 19th cease-fire went into play.

Gershon Baskon, Co-CEO of the Israel-Palestine Center for Research and Information, told us that the closures have become a standard response to rocket fire, but that both sides are making efforts to maintain the current truce.
