Israel declares border areas with Gaza closed military
zone
29/12/2008 14:09 TEL AVIV, December 29 (RIA Novosti) - The Israeli army said on Monday it had closed the border areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip,
cutting off access to journalists as it massed tanks in preparation for a possible ground assault.

Israel has massed forces along the border and has declared the area around the narrow coastal strip a "closed military zone".

Israel declared areas around Gaza a "closed military zone", citing the risk from Palestinian rocket fire, and ordering journalists observing a
buildup of armored forces to leave.
"You've got to go," an army spokesman told a Reuters correspondent after she appealed a military police directive to clear out.
Excluding the press could help Israel keep under wraps its preparations for a possible ground assault against Hamas, the Islamist militant group that
controls Gaza, following three days of air strikes that have caused chaos, turned some buildings to rubble and left hospitals struggling to cope.
Whether its the case as of now, is unclear, but it certainly was the case.
Now how come I can find that, and you couldn't?
