Hamas launched rockets targeting the Kerem Shalom border crossing, a crucial entry point for humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip from Israel. This attack followed a previous assault that resulted in the deaths of four Israel Defense Forces soldiers and injuries to others. The IDF successfully intercepted the rockets, as reported in a statement released by the military. Despite the ongoing security threats, the Biden administration urged Israel to reopen the crossing promptly. After allegations that Israel had not complied, the IDF provided evidence of aid trucks passing through the crossing into Gaza.
Additionally, there have been instances of mortar fire near a humanitarian pier being constructed by the U.S. military off the coast of Gaza. Joel B. Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Truth Voices, discussed these developments and his recent e-books in his article.
