Israel was reopening some border crossings with Gaza on Sunday, an official said, after it closed them on Thursday following the launch of a rocket into the Jewish state. Reopening the crossings will allow goods into the largely blockaded territory and humanitarian cases into Israel for medical treatment. The rocket landed in an open area and did not cause any casualties. Israeli official Peter Lerner said the Erez crossing, the main passage for people between Gaza and Israel, would be opened to allow Gazans in need of urgent medical attention travel into Israel. He said the Sufa crossing would be opened to allow goods and cement into the Gaza Strip, and the Nahal Oz fuel depot would also be opened. Israel had shut the crossings on June 25.
