Israel transferring humanitarian aid to Gaza
(Agencies)
Updated: 2008-12-26 15:35 JERUSALEM -- Israel has began transferring humanitarian aid into Gaza despite continued mortar fire.
The move comes ahead of an expected Israeli incursion into Gaza to stop rocket launchings from the coastal strip. The crossings into Gaza were scheduled to be opened earlier in the week but were shut after Gaza militants bombarded Israel with the heaviest barrage of rocket fire since before an Egyptian-mediated truce took effect in June. |
