Israel tightens blockade on Gaza to pressure Hamas to stop flaming balloons

A truck is seen at the gate of the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing, the main passage point for goods entering Gaza, in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah, on July 17, 2018. Israel decided to tighten its blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip since 2007 to put more pressure on the Islamic Hamas movement to stop releasing flaming balloons and kites into Israel, a Palestinian official said Monday.
