Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas Interior Ministry spokesman Iyad Al-Bozom reports on his Facebook page that at 12:00 pm Egypt had closed the Rafah border crossing to two buses with 120 passengers about to leave through Sinai.
Bozom says the travelers are in grave danger due to the heavy Israeli shelling of Rafah and calls on the International Red Cross to rescue them from the area. “We charge the Israeli occupation with responsibility for their lives,” Bozom writes.
