Hamas, through its military wing Al-Qassam Brigades, launched a significant attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing, a key point for humanitarian aid into Gaza, using 10 rockets and mortars fired from the Rafah area. The attack resulted in the death of three Israeli soldiers and injuries to at least ten others, some of whom are in serious condition. The Israeli Air Force responded by striking targets in Rafah. This escalation has led to the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing, severely impacting aid delivery into Gaza.
