From Times Wire Reports
Israel reopened the main goods crossing into the Gaza Strip after warnings of a looming humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory, but later closed it again, citing a security alert.
Six trucks carrying flour and sugar went through the Karni terminal, Palestinian officials said. But an Israeli army spokeswoman said the crossing was shut again because of an alert.
Karni was opened for limited shipments after being shut sporadically in the last two months because of intelligence warnings of impending militant attack.
