The move follows days of demonstrations that saw troops kill a protester.
Palestinian protesters run for cover after Israeli forces fire tear gas near the border yesterday.
Protests backed by Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza, have been held for days, against issues ranging from the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails to Jewish visits to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a site holy to both Muslims and Jews, who know it as the Temple Mount. The border closure, which follows a brief ban on exports from Gaza earlier this month after inspectors found explosives in a consignment of goods, will add pressure to an economy already under strain due a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt.
Ayman Abu Krayyem, the spokesman of the Hamas-run Gaza ministry of labour, said that as a result of the closure 8,000 workers who returned to Gaza because of Israeli Jewish holidays have been stranded in the territory since the ban.
