HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW:

In northern Gaza, Israel on Wednesday launched another deadly attack on the
Jabalya refugee camp, the latest in a series of strikes the United Nations said
“could amount to war crimes.” At least 195 people have been killed in strikes on
the camp, Hamas said. The Israeli military claimed responsibility for
Wednesday’s attack — saying it was targeting Hamas operatives and infrastructure
— as well as Tuesday’s, which killed and injured hundreds of people while
destroying about 20 buildings, according to the Health Ministry and Marwan
al-Sultan, the medical director at the Indonesian Hospital.
The Rafah border crossing opened after weeks of negotiations between the U.S.,
Israeli and Egyptian governments and Hamas, with Qatar mediating the deal,
according to a person briefed on the agreement, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. Earlier, the Hamas border authority
called on hundreds of foreign nationals seeking to flee to go to the crossing,
and said Egypt had agreed to take in 81 injured people.
Some embassies in Cairo were notified Tuesday night that their citizens would be
allowed to cross out of Gaza after the wounded and staff of international
organizations, and were told to send consular officers to the Rafah border
crossing. Those who went, the U.S. official said, had no trouble traveling
through the Suez tunnel into Sinai, a route that had been unauthorized until
now. The United States was not among those notified Tuesday night, but the
official said the embassy expects the call Wednesday night and about 400 U.S.
citizens and eligible family members to begin leaving in stages Thursday.
At least 8,796 people in Gaza have been killed and more than 22,219 have been
wounded, the Gaza Health Ministry said. Israel’s death toll, of at least 1,400
people killed in the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, has not officially risen for weeks.
At least 5,400 people have been injured, according to Israeli authorities.

ISRAEL-GAZA WAR

Israeli tanks, amid explosions and falling shells, surrounded overcrowded
hospitals in Gaza City on Friday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
Israel does not “seek to occupy Gaza,” marking a shift in tone after his
previous comments that raised red flags in the Biden administration. Understand
what’s behind the Israel-Gaza war.

Hostages: Officials say Hamas militants abducted about 239 hostages in a highly
organized attack. Four hostages have been released — two Americans and two
Israelis — as families hold on to hope. One released Israeli hostage recounted
the “spiderweb” of Gaza tunnels she was held in.

Humanitarian aid: The Palestine Red Crescent Society said it has received over
370 trucks with food, medicine and water in the Gaza Strip through Egypt’s Rafah
crossing. However, the PRCS said, there hasn’t been permission yet to bring in
fuel to power the enclave’s hospitals, water pumps, taxis and more.



Israeli-Palestinian conflict: The Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has a complicated
history, and its rulers have long been at odds with the Palestinian Authority,
the U.S.-backed government in the West Bank. Here is a timeline of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
