The Israeli military says it's reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, a key terminal for the entry of humanitarian aid, but the nearby Rafah crossing seized by Israel was still closed.
Jerusalem — The Israel i military said Wednesday that it's reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, a key terminal for the entry of humanitarian aid that was closed over the weekend after a Hamas rocket attack killed four Israel i soldiers nearby.
Hamas said Monday it had approved of a cease-fire proposal presented by Egypt and Qatar, but Israel said what Hamas agreed to was 'far from meeting Israel's core demands.' The Rafah crossing has been a vital conduit for humanitarian aid since the start of the war and is the only place where people can enter and exit.
