It was announced that the entire

will be opened to visitors this

week.

The announcement

made by Col. Motta Gur, Israel's
military governor for the two occu-

town of Gaza has been open to

visitors.
He said that, while destruction

of houses where arms caches were

found was "not an official policy,"

there was no denying that it proved
very effective. He said that after
