Jul. 1 - Israel has again shut border crossings to Gaza in response to what they say was a rocket strike on southern Israel.

An Israeli police spokesman said the makeshift rocket landed near a kibbutz bordering the coastal enclave, causing no damage or injuries. A Hamas official said the allegation was "incorrect and unjustified".

An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire which came into effect on June 19 calls on militant groups to halt rocket fire in return for Israel gradually easing its blockade of the impoverished territory.
