Border to Egypt Opens Again
145
Israel wants to open the Rafah border crossing again. People can travel through there next Wednesday. This is true for both directions. The crossing was closed because of the war with Iran. Entry and exit are checked strictly. A group from Europe helps with the check.
There was a sad event in the West Bank. Soldiers shot at a car. A family sat inside. The father and the mother died. Also 2 children aged 5 and 7 years died. They just bought clothes for a festival. 2 other children in the car were hurt. The soldiers looked for dangerous people.
There were also attacks in the Gaza Strip. 8 police officers died in a car. One of them was a police chief. Israel says: The soldiers felt threatened. The family's car drove fast towards them. Other people say: It was an execution. The situation stays very dangerous.
