The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) slammed on Sunday a decision by the Israeli occupation forces to close Karam Abu Salem and Beit Hanoun “Erez” border crossings.

"This move reflects Israel's collective punishment for Palestinians and tightens occupation on the Gaza Strip," the front said in a statement.

It added that the closure decision will aggravate the situation in the coastal enclave and increase the suffering of Palestinians living there.
