Original sentence: In 2001, and even more severely in early 2002, internal turmoil and Israeli military measures in Palestinian Authority areas resulted in the destruction of capital plant and administrative structure, widespread business closures, and a sharp drop in GDP.Israel's use of comprehensive closures decreased during the next few years and, in 1998, Israel implemented new policies to reduce the impact of closures and other security procedures on the movement of Palestinian goods and labor into Israel.Recovery ended with the outbreak of the al-Aqsa Intifada in the last quarter of 2000.These changes fueled an almost three-year-long economic recovery in the Gaza Strip.This downturn has been variously attributed to corruption and mismanagement by Yassir Arafat and to Israeli closure policies—the imposition of generalized border closures which disrupted previously established labor and commodity market relationships between Israel and the Strip
