Kerem Shalom border crossing into Gaza reopened for aid, an Israeli military official says, a day after Israel temporarily closed it, accusing Hamas of violating an ongoing ceasefire.
Following a decision at the political level, aid flowed through Kerem Shalom “in full compliance with the signed agreement,” the official says, adding that Gaza’s Rafah crossing to Egypt for people “will remain closed until further notice.”
