Israel Kills Seven People in Gaza, Says Rafah Crossing to Partially Reopen

Israel’s military has killed seven Palestinians, including two children, in Gaza and announced that it will allow the Rafah crossing to open exclusively for the exit of people from the war-torn territory. 
  
The killings on Wednesday mark the latest Israeli violations of a United States-brokered ceasefire in Gaza and came after the military accused Hamas fighters of attacking and wounding four of its soldiers in southern Rafah, near the enclave’s border with Egypt. 
 
The victims of Israel’s attacks included two Palestinians who were killed by Israeli gunfire in the Zeitoun neighborhood of northern Gaza City and five who were killed in attacks on the southern al-Mawasi camp, medics said. 
    
Hamas condemned the al-Mawasi attack, describing it as a “war crime” that demonstrated Israel’s “disregard to the ceasefire agreement.” The Palestinian group demanded mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S.—restrain the Israeli military.
