According to CNN, Israel's military on Tuesday said it had seized control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, a vital entry point for aid to Gaza on the Egyptian border.
A Palestinian official said all movement had stopped at the facility in southern Gaza after it was captured by Israeli tanks.
Here's what to know about the crossing:
What is the Rafah crossing? The facility is the only Gaza border crossing not controlled by Israel, which shut its crossings with the Palestinian territory following Hamas’ October 7 attack. Since the war began, the Rafah crossing has emerged as a crucial location allowing in limited humanitarian aid, and the evacuation of a small number of Palestinians and foreign nationals.
What's happening there now? Israel's military has seized control of the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing, an Israeli military official said Tuesday. The official said military operations at the crossing are ongoing, but refused to say how long Israeli troops would control the facility. It comes after days of deadly Israeli airstrikes on Rafah, and an Israeli evacuation order for Palestinians in parts of the city.
What does it mean for aid? The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said this capture could halt humanitarian relief efforts across Gaza, if supply routes for aid and fuel supplies are interrupted. CNN has reached out to Israel's military and officials for comment on any plans to facilitate aid deliveries to Gaza.
How about Israel's wider plans? A source familiar with Israeli plans told CNN that the Israeli operation into Rafah would be "very limited," intended to keep pressure on Hamas to agree to a deal that would bring about a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The source said the operation is not the larger incursion into Rafah that Israel has been publicly messaging for weeks.
