The Israeli army has intensified its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since the weekend, in response to the surprise offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas on October 7. Egyptian media broadcasted footage of vehicles, trucks, and ambulances making their way from Gaza into Egypt through the Rafah terminal.
A Palestinian official confirmed that 110 foreign passport holders departed the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing into Egypt.
