Israel Strikes Rafah Border Crossing Between Gaza and Egypt, Prompting Alarm

Gaza’s sole border crossing with Egypt, the only entry point not controlled by Israel, has been hit again by an Israeli​ air ⁢raid, reports say.

The third attack on the Rafah⁤ crossing in 24 hours consisted of “four missiles” that targeted the Palestinian side of ⁤the crossing, local Egyptian group Sinai for Human Rights said on Tuesday.

Witnesses had said the ​second attack hit‍ the ‍no-man’s land between the Egyptian and Palestinian gates, damaging the hall on the Palestinian side. The Israel military said it could “neither confirm or deny” any attack on the crossing “at this point”, the AFP ‌news agency reported.

NGO Sinai for Human Rights said Tuesday’s attacks prompted the closure ⁤of the crossing, but there was⁣ no immediate confirmation from either side.
