But shortly after he spoke, Karni was again closed. The military said there were security alerts, but did not provide details.

Salim Abu Safiya, who handles border crossing issues for the Palestinians in Gaza, told Reuters, ''The Israelis need to stop using this silly method and these silly alerts.''

During the brief period Karni was open, only a few trucks from Israel managed to unload their goods for delivery into Gaza. The Palestinians were not permitted to move their products in the other direction. The Palestinian exports, mostly fruits, vegetables and flowers, have been rotting during the long closing.
