Rafah crossing reopens for Gazans returning home

The reopening of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt is symbolically significant but will be limited, with only certain individuals allowed to cross in each direction. Security screenings will be conducted by various authorities, including the Shin Bet and the European Union. People leaving Gaza will face additional checks at an Israeli checkpoint. The crossing will facilitate the return of thousands of people and allow for medical treatment to be provided to those in need.
