The Erez crossing in north Gaza was closed today following terror alerts received by security authorities.
The crossing, which had been shut down on a number of occasions during the holiday due to terror warnings, is expected to reopen tomorrow.
Prior to the holiday, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz ordered a full closure of the territories but -- in what was regarded as an unusual move -- decided the Erez crossing would remain open, as only a small number of Palestinian workers were expected to enter the country during the holiday.
Meanwhile, the security establishment is planning a series of additional concessions to Gaza and West Bank Palestinians this week, including the issuing of various permits that have not been granted as of yet.
In addition, the handover of the West Bank town of Qalqiliya to Palestinian control is also expected to progress this week.
