The Israeli military has confirmed that fighter jets carried out air strikes in the Rafah area of southern Gaza on Sunday. The army says the strikes were in response to attacks by Hamas militants on Israeli troops.
Meanwhile, the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt is still closed. Aid groups hoped that trucks could start using the crossing from Monday. But Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it will remain closed until further notice, adding that the reopening will depend on Hamas handing over the remaining bodies of deceased hostages.
Israel says it has identified both bodies of two deceased hostages Hamas handed over on Saturday night. Hamas has so far returned the remains of 12 identified bodies out of 28 deceased hostages.
