GAZA, Sept 21 — Israel shut crossing points with Gaza yesterday, preventing thousands of workers from getting to their jobs in Israel and the West Bank, after days of border demonstrations in which Israeli troops have opened fire on stone-throwing protesters.
Demonstrators along the Gaza separation fence have hurled stones as well as improvised explosive devices, while Israeli troops have responded with tear gas and live fire. On Tuesday, a Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli forces during the protests and 11 others were wounded. Four more were wounded by Israeli gunfire yesterday, according to Gaza health officials. A statement from a group calling itself “Youth of Revolution” vowed to continue the protest.
The border closure, following 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 to blockades imposed by Israel and Egypt.
