Israeli authorities closed on Monday morning the Gaza Strip crossings under the pretext of Jewish holidays.

The SAFA correspondent reported that the Israeli forces had closed the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing in the southeast of the Strip, as well as Beit Hanoun / Erez checkpoint, using the pretext of Yom Kippur to the Jewish people.

The crossing has witnessed several closures in the recent weeks due to the holidays; it is expected to witness similar closures at intervals during next October.
