GAZA: A third rocket was shot into Israel from the Gaza Strip in less than 24 hours on Saturday, following two rockets fired from the Hamas-run enclave the night before.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the rocket fell in open territory with no damage or injuries. Israel reportedly announced the temporary closure of the only pedestrian crossing from Gaza to the Jewish state in reaction to multiple missiles fired into Israel in the previous week after several months of calm. Hundreds of thousands of Gazans walk into Israel every day to make a life.

In a statement, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories said, "The decision to reopen the crossing to employees and merchants will be reviewed in accordance with the evaluation of the situation."

Since Hamas gained control of Gaza in 2007, Israel has imposed a harsh siege on the territory. Since then, the Islamist group, which does not recognise Israel, has launched thousands of missiles at Israel in an attempt to break the blockade.

Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have risen in recent weeks as a result of their periodic conflicts in Jerusalem.
