The Hamas-run ministry of agriculture in Gaza announced on Thursday that it had stopped importing Israeli fruits after Israel banned the export of vegetables from Gaza to the West Bank and abroad.

"Israel banned the export of 15 different kinds of agricultural products, mainly tomatoes and cucumbers from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank and abroad," the ministry said in a press statement.

Israel has kept the Kerem Shalom crossing with Gaza totally shut for four weeks, allowing a few days ago only medical equipment and humanitarian aid through the only commercial crossing with the Palestinian enclave.

Israel and Gaza's Hamas fought a 11-day-long fighting in May, the most intense round since 2014 that left 254 Palestinians and 13 Israelis dead.

An Egypt-brokered cease-fire between the two sides went into effect on May 21.
