Israel's army had officially declared 2008 a 300 meter wide area along the border in the Gaza Strip to Palestinians forbidden zone. According to the United Nations and non-governmental organizations that zone now extends further into it, but de facto in Palestinian territory. The army regularly opened fire on Palestinians who approach the border.
This last year, dozens of civilians were killed - including young people who were looking for building material. According to reports from Israeli military sources on Wednesday seven floors from the Gaza Strip were fired at southern Israel after. In most stories, it was a matter mortar shells.
There had been no injuries or damage. Since last month, radical Palestinians have fired again reinforced Israeli territory. In response, the Israeli army attacked on Tuesday evening a suspected arms smuggling tunnel between serving the Gaza Strip and Egypt. The Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Wednesday at a dinner with Catherine Ashton EU EuroNews interview in Jerusalem, Israel is prepared to lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip - but not without conditions.
This could only happen if the European Union oversee the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. The root of the problem was "the endless arms smuggling into the Gaza Strip through the Egyptian border, which feeds the terrorist activities against Israel," said Lieberman, according to an Israeli declaration.
"If you want the lifting of the blockade, you must accept your responsibility and establish a real, strong and effective force that stops the smuggling."
