BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities will close the Rafah crossing for the Eid al-Adha holiday starting Friday.
The crossing will be closed from Friday until Tuesday for the religious holiday, Palestinian officials said.
It will reopen on Wednesday.
The Rafah crossing is the principal connection between Gaza's 1.7 million people and the outside world, but Egypt largely keeps it shut as part of the jointly-enforced Israeli blockade. more
