Israeli authorities say they plan to reopen the main commercial crossing to Gaza after it was closed earlier this week, harming producers across the embattled territory
Palestinian fishing boats return after a nighttime fishing trip to the seaport in Gaza City, Thursday, Sept. 7, 2023. After allegedly uncovering explosives hidden in clothing shipped from Gaza to the West Bank, the Israeli government opted for a punitive response this week, clamping down on all cargo shipments out of Gaza and choking off the territory's already ailing economy.
After an investigation and “necessary adjustments,” the crossing was safe to reopen, Israel said, without elaborating further on the explosives found.
