Rafah crossing opens to allow a limited exit of foreign nationals and wounded.
Rafah crossing opens to allow a limited exit of foreign nationals and wounded.
The opening of the crossing was negotiated between Egypt, Israel and Hamas, in coordination with the US, after the intervention of Qatar, which mediated in the talks. There is no indication for how long the Rafah crossing would remain open. The border authority in Gaza added that Egypt had agreed to let in 81 of the most badly wounded on Wednesday, seeking evacuation. A security source told Reuters up to 500 people may be able to leave.
Hamas is a designated terrorist group backed by Iran and that has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007.
Hamas began firing thousands of rockets on Saturday morning, striking targets as far away as Tel Aviv and the outskirts of Jerusalem, which rarely see any direct hits because of Israel's sophisticated Iron Dome missile defense system.

The unprecedented attack, which has killed at least 1400 people in Israel, Israel's Army Radio reported Monday. At least 4000 people have been injured, the Israeli Health Ministry said earlier.
More than 200 Israeli civilians, soldiers, and foreign nationals have also been taken hostage by Hamas.
Israel formally declared war on Hamas.
