Israel closes Gaza border crossings following rocket attack

Occupied Jerusalem: Israel resealed its border crossings with Gaza on Tuesday, following a rocket attack from the Palestinian region a day earlier, an Israeli official said.

Defence Minister Ehud Barak "ordered the closure of crossings with Gaza", the official said, but did not elaborate.

Two rockets were fired into Israel on Monday, the Israeli military said, adding that it caused no damage or casualties.

The measure coincides with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to the region to further peace efforts in the region.
