TEL AVIV, January 27 (RIA Novosti) - Israel said on Sunday it would resume fuel supplies to Gaza halted last week to counter rocket attacks.
Israeli government officials announced the decision at a Supreme Court hearing held to consider a petition by Palestinian human rights groups against the blockade.
The blockade of fuel and goods to Gaza began on January 18, when Israel halted fuel supplies and shut all border crossings with the Palestinian enclave in response to ongoing insurgent rocket attacks from the territory, controlled by Islamist group Hamas.
Thousands of Palestinians made their way from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip into Egypt on Wednesday after militants partially destroyed a wall on the Gaza-Egypt border.
