Israel has fully reopened its cargo crossing with Gaza, saying it is in response to a period of relative calm.
Lorries carrying fuel and commercial goods passed through Kerem Shalom on Wednesday after weeks of restrictions.
The fishing zone off Gaza’s coast was also restored to 17km (nine nautical miles), having been reduced to 6km.
Kerem Shalom was closed for all but humanitarian deliveries in retaliation for cross-border incendiary kite and balloon attacks by Palestinians.
Human rights groups said the move amounted to illegal collective punishment.
Kerem Shalom is the main lifeline for the two million people living in Gaza, and the territory’s economy is almost entirely dependent on it.
