GAZA, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday closed down all Gaza commercial crossings in what they said was a retaliation to the bombing of an IOF patrol, which was followed by IOF intensive firing that killed a Palestinian farmer.

Ra'ed Fattuh, the head of the committee supervising entry of goods into the Gaza Strip, said that around 110 trucks were expected through the Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing on Tuesday along with cooking gas and diesel through Shujaiah (Nahal Oz) crossing.

He said that 80 trucks of wheat and fodder were expected through Mintar (Karni) crossing along with 18 trucks for the private sector and assistance from Jordanians, Arabs and UNRWA.

He added that IOF did not change the nature of goods allowed into the Strip and they remained similar to the pre Gaza war mainly wheat, rice, cooking oil, frozen meat and dairy products.

An Israeli soldier was killed and two others wounded in the blast that targeted an IOF jeep east of Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza, Hebrew media sources said.

Local sources said that a number of army jeeps were in the area and fired four shells at agricultural fields while helicopter gunships hovered in the skies and fired at random.

Medical sources in the Strip said that Anwar Al-Buraim, 24, was killed in the IOF shooting that followed the blast.

They said that Buraim was seriously injured but was pronounced dead on arrival to hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Strip.

PIC reporter in the area said that IOF soldiers fired at farmers and citizens' houses killing the farmer and inflicting material damage.
