Did IDF Special Forces Enter Gaza through an Official Checkpoint?
(Ha'aretz) Amira Hass - Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk was quoted as hinting that the entry of the IDF special forces unit into Gaza was made possible through a checkpoint of the Palestinian Authority at the Erez border crossing. But knowing how the official entry process works raises doubts about the feasibility of this scenario. Foreigners seeking to enter Gaza must coordinate their travel in advance with Hamas authorities. To enter officially through the Erez crossing, you must submit full identification details, including details on the purpose of the visit and the organization and identity of contact persons inside Gaza. Even those bearing Palestinian identity cards must pass through the posts of the PA and Hamas and answer questions.
