On February 1, the Rafah crossing, located at the border between Gaza and Egypt, commenced trial operations. According to Jin10, the opening is primarily aimed at testing technical and security systems, with only a limited number of individuals participating in the exercise. The crossing is expected to fully reopen for two-way pedestrian traffic starting February 2. A joint oversight team, comprising Egyptian representatives, EU observers, and relevant Israeli authorities, is on-site to focus on identity verification and security system adjustments. Initially, the Rafah crossing will allow limited pedestrian passage. Individuals wishing to cross must submit their names at least 24 hours in advance and undergo remote screening by Israeli security officials.#RafahCrossing #Gaza #Egypt #border #trialOperations #pedestrianTraffic #security #Israel #EUObservers #identityVerification #crossingReopening #technicalSystems
