Israeli military presence reported at Rafah border crossing amid cease-fire deal and truce talks. Deliveries halted, temporary home for over a million affected by Gaza fighting, multiple attempts at cease-fire negotiations.
A spokesperson for the Gaza border authority told Reuters that the crossing had been closed amid the presence of Israeli tanks. Reuters also cited humanitarian aid workers as saying deliveries were halted.
Israel had on Monday asked people to leave the area, thought to be a temporary home to more than a million fleeing the fighting in Gaza after a mortar attack that it said hailed from the town killed four Israeli soldiers.
Soon after that, Hamas said it had accepted a cease-fire deal after days of delay. But as celebrations started breaking out in Rafah and elsewhere, Israel's government then responded by saying the deal did not meet its 'core demands.'
