Israel on Monday eased some restrictions on the Gaza Strip that have threatened a fragile ceasefire which halted an 11-day war last month with the territory's Hamas rulers, Palestinian officials said.
They said 11 truckloads of clothes were exported through Kerem Shalom crossing for the first time in 40 days. On Sunday, Israel said it would allow limited agricultural exports from Gaza.

The easing also included the resumption of mail service in and out of Gaza, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Other restrictions by Israel remain in place. They include restrictions on the zone for Gaza fishermen, a limit on the number of medical patients who can get treatment in Israel or the West Bank, and a ban on raw materials for Gaza industries.
