Israel on Sunday reopened a Gaza border crossing point to allow commercial goods into the Palestinian enclave which had been sealed off after militants fired rockets in violation of a truce.
   
"Between 60 and 70 trucks carrying mainly humanitarian aid should go through the Sufa border crossing today," said defence spokesman Gil Karie, adding that Sufa reopened on Sunday morning.
   
Israeli officials were to decide later whether to also reopen the Karni terminal that has been mainly used to deliver grain to Gaza since Israel imposed an embargo on the Islamist Hamas-run territory.
   
The Nahal Oz terminal, which handles most of the fuel supplies destined for the Gaza Strip, was reopened on Friday.
   
Israel had shut down the terminals after militants fired three rockets across the border on Tuesday in an attack that lightly wounded two people and which was claimed by the Islamic Jihad movement.
   
The radical group has said it objected to the truce between Israel and Hamas, but agreed after the attack that it would hold its fire.
   
On Thursday another rocket struck an open field near the southern Israeli town of Sderot, which before the truce had weathered near-daily attacks since Hamas seized power in Gaza more than a year ago.
   
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed group loosely linked to the Fatah movement of secular Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, said it carried out Thursday's attack.
   
While Israel responded to the rockets by shutting Gaza's goods crossings, it has not resumed the near-daily air strikes and ground incursions it launched in the months leading up to the truce.
   
Hamas has insisted that it is respecting the truce, criticised the militants who breached it and vowed to take "all actions necessary" to ensure the agreement holds.
   
Under the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire that went into effect on June 19, Gaza militants were to halt their rocket and mortar attacks and Israeli troops would not carry out military strikes against the impoverished territory.
   
The ceasefire also envisions a gradual easing of the embargo imposed after Hamas seized power in Gaza in June 2007. Israel blacklists the Islamist movement as a terror group.
   
Israel has sealed off the coastal strip from all but limited humanitarian aid, spawning widespread fuel shortages and crippling the local economy in the overcrowded and impoverished territory of 1.5 million people.
   
Israeli officials said a daily average of about 60 truckloads of supplies were delivered into Gaza before the truce went into effect.
