Israeli Army Torches Rafah Crossing's Departure Hall, Facilities in Gaza
Jun 17, 2024, 01:18 PM
The Israeli army has reportedly set ablaze the departure hall at the Rafah border crossing, which connects Gaza with Egypt. The incident, which occurred on June 17, 2024, also saw the destruction of several facilities on the Palestinian side of the crossing. Local officials and media reports confirm that Israeli forces torched and destroyed these facilities, including halls used for arrival and departure. The Rafah crossing is Gaza's only gateway to the outside world, and the burning has raised significant concerns. Israeli forces have not provided any justification for the act. The crossing was previously used as a military base, and pictures show the first day after the takeover and the burning this month. The facilities were torched for no reason.
