Gaza's Rafah Border Crossing With Egypt Reopens for Limited Traffic

Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt reopened on Monday for limited traffic, a key step as the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire moves ahead, according to Egyptian and Israeli security officials. 

An Egyptian official said 50 Palestinians would cross in each direction on the first day of the crossing's operation. 

The official, involved



in talks related to the implementation of the ceasefire deal, spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the issue.

State-run Egyptian media and an Israeli security official also confirmed the reopening, which, for now at least, is largely symbolic. Few people will be allowed to travel in either direction, and no goods will be allowed to enter.
