Gaza's Rafah border crossing partially reopens under ceasefire deal. The gateway, which had been largely closed for nearly two years, resumed limited operations Monday under the terms of an Israeli-Hamas agreement.
Gaza's Rafah border crossing partially reopened on Monday under the terms of an Israeli-Hamas ceasefire agreement, restoring limited operations after being largely closed for nearly two years. The move marks a significant step towards easing restrictions in the Palestinian territory, which has been subject to severe economic and humanitarian conditions due to the blockade. Egyptian officials confirmed that the crossing would operate with reduced hours, allowing for the movement of people and goods through a single lane. The reopening is seen as a key component of the ceasefire deal aimed at reducing tensions between Israel and Hamas.
