Global Research Editor’s note

We bring this to the attention of our readers. At present this information is still subject to verification.

Internationals in Gaza have been advised that the Erez Crossing, closed because of cross-border fighting, will be open for two hours, from 12 midday until 2pm, and exit will be by co-ordinated convoy only.

This is the procedure that immediately precedes major Israeli military offensives, such as that before Operation Cast Lead, and the August offensive of 2011.

The international community MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY to stop another slaughter.
