CAIRO – 3 February 2026: The first group of Palestinians returning from Egypt arrived on the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing on Monday.

Al-Qahera TV News Channel reported on Tuesday that the second group of Palestinian returnees arrived at the Rafah crossing to complete entry procedures into the Gaza Strip after receiving medical treatment and care in Egyptian hospitals.

The Rafah land crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip was reopened on Monday in both directions after the Israeli occupation authorities closed the crossing from the Palestinian side in May 2024.
