'Palestinian attack on Gaza passage won't halt aid'

Palestinian mortar attack Monday on one of the two remaining open passageways into Gaza didn't stop Israel and the United Nations from bringing humanitarian aid into the area, according to Shlomo Dror, a spokesman for the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.

The attack forced Israel to close the Kerem Shalom crossing for the day, Dror told The Jerusalem Post. Israel, however, hopes to reopen it as soon as possible and plans to continue the flow of basic aid through Kerem Shalom as well as Sufta, he added.

Even with Monday's closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing, Israel managed to facilitate the passage of 99 trucks with supplies into Gaza through Sufta, said Dror.

Islamic Jihad took responsibility for the Kerem Shalom attack in an announcement on its Web site.
