The Israeli military says it has reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, a key terminal for the entry of humanitarian aid.

It was closed on Sunday after a deadly Hamas rocket attack killed four Israeli soldiers near the crossing.

An Israeli tank brigade seized the nearby Rafah crossing early Tuesday, and it remains closed.
