Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt reopened on Thursday, Egyptian state-linked media reported, for the first time since Israel closed it on 28 February when it launched joint strikes on Iran with the United States.
Al-Qahera News, which is close to Egypt's intelligence services, said the crossing had reopened "in both directions" and aired footage showing a small number of Palestinians - including those who had been receiving medical treatment in Egypt - preparing to cross from the Egyptian side back into Gaza.
The footage also showed several ambulances waiting to receive Palestinian patients coming out of the Strip.
Earlier this week, the IDF also said it had killed the commander of the “Imam Hussein Division” in Beirut, a week after taking out his predecessor.
In the letter, Amir Saeid Iravani said the UAE’s decision to allow its territory to be used for the strikes constituted "an internationally wrongful act that entailed state responsibility."
