The Israeli military announced on Wednesday that it has reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, a crucial terminal for the entry of humanitarian aid. The crossing had been closed for nearly three days following a Hamas rocket attack that resulted in the deaths of four Israeli soldiers in the vicinity.
Additionally, an Israeli tank brigade took control of the nearby Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt early on Tuesday, which remains closed at present. Throughout the night, there were reports of sporadic explosions and gunfire in the area, with two significant blasts heard early Wednesday.
