Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered the commercial crossings between Israel
and the Gaza Strip closed as of Wednesday morning following the launching of
a Qassam rocket towards southern Israel earlier on Tuesday.

The crossings are to remain closed over the next two days. On Thursday Barak
will conduct a revaluation of the situation

Palestinian gunmen launched a Qassam rocket from northern Gaza towards
Israel on Tuesday evening. The rocket landed in an open area in a kibbutz
belonging to the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council.

No injuries were reported and no damage was caused. In recent weeks
construction has begun in parts of the kibbutz to fortify buildings against
rocket attacks.
