After they were closed due to Iran’s missile fire, Israeli authorities say the crossings with the Gaza Strip will reopen tomorrow.

“In accordance with the operational situation assessment and the removal of security restrictions in Israel, it has been decided to reopen the Kerem Shalom Crossing as of tomorrow for the gradual entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip,” the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says.

COGAT says the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt will also “reopen for the limited movement of people in both directions.”
