EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities closed the Rafah crossing with Gaza on Saturday, officials said.
"Egypt is concerned about the security of Palestinian citizens as Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid continue to blaze with explosions occurring from time to time," an Egyptian security official told Ma'an.
The crossing had been operating at a reduced capacity since Monday, after being closed for seven days due to the security situation in Sinai.
There have been frequent closures of the Rafah terminal in recent weeks due to political unrest in Egypt and violence in the Sinai peninsula. more
