The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced on the 15th that the Rafah border crossing in the Gaza Strip will reopen for bidirectional traffic starting from the 18th, allowing "limited" personnel to pass in both directions. The Rafah crossing is located at the southern border of Gaza with Egypt and is crucial for humanitarian aid to Gaza. In May 2024, the Israeli military took control of the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing. On the first day of a large-scale military operation launched jointly by Israel and the United States against Iran on February 28, Israel closed the Rafah crossing citing security reasons.
