Palestinians Attack Gaza Crossing -Isabel Kershner

Palestinian suicide bombers from Gaza drove three explosives-laden vehicles into the Kerem Shalom goods crossing on the border with Israel, detonating two of them. Three bombers were killed in the blasts and 13 Israeli soldiers were wounded.

Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, the fifth along the border with Israel in the last ten days.
