IDF closes three roads around Gaza Strip

The IDF said on Friday it was closing to civilian traffic three roads that lead to, or border the Gaza Strip, in an indication of a probable military build-up in the area.
Shortly before, political sources said Defence Minister Ehud Barak was seeking government approval to mobilize up to 75,000 reserve troops for Israel's Gaza campaign, in a sign of preparations for a possible ground offensive.
