	Karni crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Karni Crossing is a cargo terminal on the Israeli Gaza Strip barrier.
		The Karni Crossing was also used by the residents of Netzarim since the Karni road was the only route to that isolated Israeli settlement on which Jewish travel was allowed.
		The Karni Crossing is now used for 'back-to-back' transfer in which merchandise and produce for the Israeli market or for export overseas is removed from a Palestinian truck and placed in an Israeli truck, or vice versa for incoming goods.

		The passage of goods through the Karni crossing in northern Gaza is expected to resume Thursday morning, this after the crossing was shut down two weeks ago.
		Karni serves as an “oxygen tube” for the Palestinian Authority, as food, medicine, textile and various essential products enter Gaza through the crossing, while goods for sale or for transfer to the West Bank also pass through it.
		The crossing was closed at the beginning of 2006 following intelligence information on an underground tunnel dug up at the site, but it was reopened when no such tunnel was found.

		The Karni Crossing was opened briefly Monday, after being closed for about ten weeks due to terror threats, but was closed 45 minutes later due to specific warnings of an impending terrorist attack.
		Despite continued warnings, the crossing was opened again on Tuesday, following American pressure to allow the PA to receive humanitarian aid through the at-risk crossing, instead of through the available Kerem Shalom one.
		The reason for the preference of the jointly-operated Karni Crossing is reportedly because the PA receives tax duties on goods brought in through that crossing and not through Kerem Shalom.

	Palestinians petition High Court over closure of Karni crossing : Indybay
		Karni, which is Gaza's main cargo crossing, has been shut down for much of the past three and a half months due to repeated warnings of planned attacks by Palestinian terrorist organizations.
		The petitioners argue that the restrictions on passage through the crossing prevents a regular supply of staples, including foodstuffs and medicines, from reaching the population of the Gaza Strip.
		Haaretz said Tuesday that a report by the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warns of a lack of basic food supplies due to the frequent closures of the Karni crossing, which is preventing goods from reaching Gaza from Egypt.

	The Palestinian terrorist organizations
		During the night of January 13-14, 2005, an attack was perpetrated at the commercial terminal Karni crossing.
		Recently the crossing has stayed open longer, one of the steps taken to ease the life of the civilian population, so an attack on the crossing is clearly an attack on the interests of the Palestinian population and a threat to any initiation of normalized relations between Israel and the Palestinians.
		It should be remembered that since the beginning of the ongoing violent Palestinian-Israeli confrontation, the terrorist organizations have chosen the crossings, particularly Karni and Erez, as preferred targets for their activities, and they repeatedly try to cut off those arteries, even at the price of harming the local population.
