[ 12/12/2011 - 05:35 PM ] OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has officially opened the Shufat crossing that would isolate 50000 Palestinians in the Shufat refugee camp from occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources said that the IOA inaugurated the crossing at midnight Sunday and summoned representatives of nearby suburbs and notables to inform them that the military barrier would be closed and would be replaced by the crossing.
The sources said that the crossing would only allow carriers of Jerusalem residence permits and holders of special permits from the IOA to cross it.
The IOA had started building the crossing in 2009 to the north of occupied Jerusalem similar to the Qalandia crossing to complete the construction of the wall that has been under construction since 2002 to encircle the refugee camp.
