On December 3, 2025, Israel announced the Rafah crossing with Egypt would open for Palestinians to leave Gaza but not return. This announcement followed the recovery of a captive's body in northern Gaza, which Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad said they would hand over via the Red Cross. The handover is part of a US-brokered plan tied to a ceasefire aimed at ending the conflict. While the ceasefire holds, Israel continues attacks, including one on al-Mawasi that killed at least five Palestinians. The Rafah crossing was to open for medical evacuations and travel to and from Gaza under the ceasefire terms, but Israel is disputing with Egypt, stating Palestinians cannot return until all captives are released.
