GAZA - Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing to the border crossing with Egypt as Israel tightens control over the region. In response to the dire humanitarian crisis, Egyptian security officials announced a temporary ceasefire in southern Gaza starting at 9 a.m. local time on Monday. The ceasefire will last for five hours, during which the Rafah crossing will be open.
According to NBC News, Palestinian embassy representative Kamal Khatib said that Palestinian foreigners will be allowed to enter Egypt starting at 9 a.m. local time on Monday. The decision comes as humanitarian aid begins to flow into Gaza.
Israel will reportedly reopen water supplies in southern Gaza that were shut down after Hamas attacks. However, the Palestinian Water Authority has not confirmed that water supply has been restored.
People have been warned to evacuate northern Gaza amid continued Israeli air strikes. Hamas has recently launched coordinated terrorist attacks on kibbutzim, music festivals and city streets.
The Israel Defense Forces have massed personnel and equipment at the border and plan to expand air attacks using a combination of sea, land and air means.
The reopening of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt will provide opportunities for foreign Palestinians to leave Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. The crossing is currently the only exit for moving people out of Gaza and delivering supplies.
The U.S. Embassy in Israel warned that residents wishing to cross the Rafah crossing may not receive any notification if it opens. Furthermore, they highlighted the uncertainty regarding the duration of accessibility at border crossings.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed confidence in talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to ensure the reopening of the Rafah crossing. Blinken said steps were being taken with the involvement of the United Nations, Egypt, Israel and other countries to ensure aid is delivered to those in need.
In another development, Israeli Energy and Infrastructure Minister Israel Katz announced the reopening of southern Gaza's water supply following discussions between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Biden.
As the conflict with Hamas continues, the Israel Defense Forces shared satellite images of the scale of the Hamas attack on October 7. The Israel Defense Forces also unveiled confiscated weapons used by Hamas and vowed to dismantle terror infrastructure in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces stressed the seriousness of the situation, calling Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar a "direct enemy" of Israel and a threat to the world.
随着居民和外国人逃往埃及，以色列今天同意暂时停火
加沙 - 随着以色列加强对该地区的控制，数十万人逃往埃及边境。 为应对严峻的人道主义危机，埃及安全官员宣布从当地时间周一上午 9 点开始在加沙南部暂时停火。 停火将持续五个小时，在此期间拉法过境点将开放。
据NBC新闻报道，巴勒斯坦大使馆代表卡迈勒·哈提卜表示，从当地时间周一上午9点开始，巴勒斯坦外国人将被允许进入埃及。 这一决定是在人道主义援助开始流入加沙之际做出的。
据报道，以色列将重新开放哈马斯袭击后关闭的加沙南部供水系统。 不过，巴勒斯坦水务局尚未证实供水已恢复。
在以色列持续空袭期间，人们被警告撤离加沙北部。 哈马斯最近对基布兹、音乐节和城市街道发动了协同恐怖袭击。
以色列国防军已在边境集结人员和装备，并计划利用海、陆、空多种手段扩大空袭。
加沙和埃及之间的拉法过境点的重新开放将为外国巴勒斯坦人离开加沙并提供人道主义援助提供机会。 该过境点是目前将人员撤离加沙和运送物资的唯一出口。
美国驻以色列大使馆警告说，如果拉法过境点开放，希望穿越拉法过境点的居民可能不会收到任何通知。 此外，他们强调了边境口岸无障碍持续时间的不确定性。
美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯表示有信心与埃及总统阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西进行会谈，以确保重新开放拉法过境点。 布林肯表示，在联合国、埃及、以色列和其他国家的参与下，正在采取措施，确保向有需要的人提供援助。
另一项进展是，在总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡和拜登总统讨论后，以色列能源和基础设施部长以色列·卡茨宣布重新开放加沙南部的供水。
随着与哈马斯的冲突持续，以色列国防军于10月7日分享了哈马斯袭击规模的卫星图像。以色列国防军还公布了哈马斯使用的没收武器，并誓言拆除加沙的恐怖基础设施。
以色列国防军强调了局势的严重性，称哈马斯领导人叶海亚·辛瓦尔是以色列的“直接敌人”，也是对世界的威胁。
