Israel reopens Rafah crossing with limitations after hostage search.

Israel is conducting a focused operation to find the body of the last remaining hostage in Gaza, police officer Ran Gvili. The military has several intelligence leads and is targeting northern Gaza. A limited reopening of the Rafah crossing with Egypt is agreed upon once the operation is completed. Israel has kept the crossing closed due to Hamas not complying with agreements, leading to restrictions on humanitarian aid and a desire to limit Palestinians entering Gaza.
