Israel let building materials into Gaza, for the first time since Operation Cast Lead, on Monday, Israel Radio reported.
15 trucks carrying gravel were let through the Karni checkpoint, while 5 tons of construction steel and 250 tons of various building supplies, including cement, were transferred at the Kerem Shalom checkpoint.
