Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing on Wednesday morning after it was closed on Sunday following Hamas firing rockets at a military site nearby.
According to Reuters, the Kerem Shalom crossing has been reopened, with trucks already undergoing inspection to enter Gaza from Egypt.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre announced on Tuesday that the United States had been informed that the Kerem Shalom crossing would reopen on Wednesday.
The military wing of Hamas had claimed responsibility for launching rockets at a military site near the Kerem Shalom crossing.
The Israeli army announced the deaths of three soldiers due to the attack, stating that the rockets were launched from the nearby Rafah area.
The Kerem Shalom crossing serves as the main gateway for humanitarian aid needed in Gaza.
The Kerem Shalom crossing, located at the border between Israel, Gaza, and Egypt, is a vital lifeline for the Gaza Strip.
It serves as the primary entry point for goods and humanitarian aid into Gaza, including food, fuel, and medical supplies.
The crossing has been the target of attacks and closures in the past due to security concerns and conflicts between Israel and militant groups in Gaza, such as Hamas.
Despite periodic closures and tensions, efforts are continuously made to keep the crossing operational to meet the humanitarian needs of the people in Gaza.
