IDF said planning to operate inspection site at Rafah crossing when it reopens

Channel 12 reports that the Israeli security establishment is gearing up for a directive from the political echelon to reopen the Rafah Border Crossing in both directions in the coming days.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a security consult on Sunday, where he is expected to share the concessions he agreed to during his meeting with US President Donald Trump, with reopening the crossing near the top of the list, Channel 12 says.

To satisfy Israeli security concerns, Israel is planning to operate an “inspection site” on the Palestinian side of the Rafah Border Crossing to verify what is going in and out of the Strip, the network says.

It doesn’t say whether the inspection site will be operated by soldiers on the ground or by technological means.
