Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt reopens: Egyptian state-linked media

Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt reopened on Thursday, Egyptian state-linked media reported, for the first time since Israel closed it on February 28 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.
