In a seperate raid, IDF troops arrested 5 Palestinians in Hebron. On Monday, Gaza militants fired eight rockets at Israel one of which lightly wounded a four-year-old boy was lightly wounded in a western Negev kibbutz. The boy was hurt by shrapnel from the rocket, which had been launched by Palestinian militants in northern Gaza. The Qassam struck in Kibbutz Gevim, close to the rocket-weary town of Sderot.

Israel opens Gaza crossing for humanitarian aid Meanwhile, Israel on Tuesday reopened the Sufa and Erez crossings into the Gaza Strip, allowing some 60 trucks to enter with humanitarian cargo. The crossing at Sufa had been closed since last Thursday, following an attempted terror attack on Kerem Shalom Crossing south of it. Kerem Shalom, where a terror attack was successfully carried out last Saturday, will apparently be reopened later this week. Erez Crossing in the northern Gaza Strip was closed early this week because of a terror alert there, and reopened on Tuesday. Last week the supply of diesel fuel was resumed through the Nahal Oz depot, where two Israeli civilians were murdered by terrorists two weeks ago. The fuel is intended exclusively for operating Gaza's power station. A defense official said that the crossings were reopened to prevent Hamas generating a humanitarian crisis in Gaza and blaming it on Israel.
