Israeli forces kill 12 Palestinians in Gaza, attacks in Rafah

At least 12 Palestinians, including children, were killed in multiple attacks in Gaza the day before the Rafah crossing is set to reopen. Israeli airstrikes targeted displaced people in Khan Younis and an apartment building in Gaza City, resulting in casualties and injuries. The reopening of the Rafah crossing, part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, will have limited movement restrictions, with only certain individuals allowed to enter or exit. Hamas has called for unrestricted movement and adherence to the ceasefire terms, as over 71,600 Palestinians have been killed since 2023.
