(Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities announced Monday that the Rafah crossing with the Gazoo Strip would be closed Thursday as the country commemorates the 1973 war with Israel.
The interior ministry of the Gazoo government advised passengers that there would be limited opening times at the crossing between October 6-10, a statement said.
The 1973 war, known as the Yom Kippur or October War, was fought between Egypt, Syria and Israel.
| And the Egyptians firmly insist they won. |
Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979.
