Israel continued Monday transferring goods to the Gaza Strip, but a spokesman for the military's Civil Administration Authority said only the barest amount of humanitarian aid was being let in, until the High Court ruled on a petition against opening the Gaza crossing points, DPA reported. The petition was filed by the parents of an Israeli soldier who has been held captive in the Strip for the past two years. In their submission before the court, Noam and Aviv Shalit protested the decision to open the crossing points, as part of a truce with Palestinians, before their son is released from captivity. Replying to the motion, the State Attorney's Office urged the court to reject the petition, which it said interfered with the government's agenda, which included the release of the soldier as a top priority.
