The Zionist entity said Wednesday it was revoking permits for 500 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to enter Jerusalem ahead of Friday prayers because of alleged rocket fire from the Palestinian region.

A spokeswoman for COGAT, the Zionist defense ministry unit which coordinates with Gaza, said the move to cancel part of its measures easing restrictions on Palestinians during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan applied to this week only and was "because of the rocket" which hit southern occupied territories on Tuesday night, causing no injuries.

The Zionist defense ministry had said "the measures were conditional on a continued lull in violence," which was broken late Friday with the killing of a Zionist settler in the West Bank and the stabbing of a policeman in east Jerusalem on Sunday.

Occupation authorities on Sunday revoked entry permits for residents of the West Bank village home to the Palestinian who had stabbed the policeman. It also cancelled permission for 500 West Bank Palestinians to fly via Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv.

A Zionist aircraft launched a strike on Gaza at night following Tuesday's rocket, with Palestinian security sources saying the raid hit farmland in northern Gaza, causing no injuries or damage.

The Zionist military launched a 50-day war on Gaza Strip in July 2014, killing more than 2,200 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and causing much destruction throughout the enclave.
