Big Win For Hamas In Rafah?: Despite Killing Of 4 IDF Soldiers, Netanyahu Orders To Reopen Crossing [Video]

Big Win For Hamas In Rafah?: Despite Killing Of 4 IDF Soldiers, Netanyahu Orders To Reopen Crossing

Israel announced the reopening of the Kerem Shalom border crossing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, just four days after its closure following a rocket attack that tragically claimed the lives of four soldiers. In a collaborative effort between the Israeli army and COGAT, the defence ministry body responsible for Palestinian civil affairs, trucks loaded with vital supplies such as food, water, shelter equipment, medicine, and medical supplies, generously donated by the international community, have begun arriving at the crossing from Egypt. These essential supplies will undergo thorough inspection before being transferred to the Gaza side of the crossing, ensuring their safe and efficient delivery to those in need. Additionally, the statement highlighted the reopening of the Erez border crossing between Israel and northern Gaza, further facilitating the flow of aid into the Palestinian territory. This swift response underscores Israel's commitment to addressing the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza, even in the face of security challenges, and demonstrates a willingness to engage in cooperative efforts to alleviate suffering and promote stability in the region. #Israel #KeremShalom #GazaAid #HumanitarianRelief #RafahAttack #BorderCrossing #PeaceAndAid #MiddleEast #SupportingGaza #UnityInCrisis ~PR.152~ED.102~GR.125~HT.96~
