KEY POINTS:
Israel reopened at least three of its border crossings with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip last night after a halt to Palestinian cross-border attacks that had strained an Egyptian-brokered truce.
An Israeli military spokesman said the Sufa commercial crossing, the Nahal Oz fuel transfer deport and the Erez border terminal for travellers resumed operations, with some restrictions still in force.
Peter Lerner, a liaison official with Israel's Defence Ministry, said earlier that another commercial crossing, Karni, would also be reopened.
Israel closed the crossings last week after an Islamic Jihad rocket attack which the Palestinian faction called retaliation for the killing of one of its West Bank leaders.
