Feb. 1 (UPI) -- The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza reopened on Sunday morning to limited traffic for the first time in more than two years.
Israeli officials announced that after a trial operation of the crossing it will officially reopen on Monday, first for people leaving Gaza for medical attention and then others will be permitted to leave and enter, a process that will include intense scrutiny of Palestinians who use the crossing, Al-Jazeera reported.
"The Rafah crossing has reopened for movement of people only," the Israeli Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories said in a post on X. "The movement of residents in both directions, entry and exit to and from Gaza, is expected to begin tomorrow."
