Israel

Israel is reportedly planning to institute a building freeze outside of main settlement blocs. Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing with Gaza that it had closed in response to rocket fire from Gaza. The IDF responded to artillery fire from Syria and “registered a direct hit.” Israeli and Egyptian officials said the flow of long-range missiles from the Sinai into Gaza is on the decline since Operation Pillar of Defense in November.
