The Israeli occupation army said on Wednesday that the two crossings into the Gaza Strip were reopened after they were closed on Monday.

"Kerem Shalom and Erez were reopened this morning and are operating as normal," the army said in a statement.

The so-called Kerem Shalom, which lies at the southern tip of the border between Gaza and the occupied territories, is the crossing point for all commercial goods, while “Erez”, which lies at the north of the strip, is the terminal for travelers.

Late on Sunday, Gaza fighters fired five rockets at southern Israel, two of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile system. The other three caused no damage or injury.

Later at night, the occupation army launched air strikes on the strip.
