Israel seals Gaza crossings after rocket attack

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM

- Israel says it has closed its crossings with the Gaza Strip until further notice in response to a cross-border rocket attack.

A military spokesman says only pedestrian traffic will be permitted through. Palestinians fired a rocket at southern Israel on Monday evening, again violating a recent truce between Israel and Gaza militants. No group claimed responsibility for the attack and no injuries or damage were reported.

Palestinian officials say the closure means that a long-awaited shipment of cement will not be allowed through on Tuesday.
