Israel has reported that it will close the border crossings with the Gaza Strip, including the Rafah crossing, as part of the operation with the United States against Iran. The Israeli military body COGAT stated that this is a security adjustment that will not affect the humanitarian situation. The Israel Defence Forces and the United States Army have begun a joint operation aimed at attacking the Iranian regime and eliminating threats to the State of Israel. Since the beginning of the ceasefire with Hamas, a quantity of food has been sent to the Gaza Strip that represents four times the nutritional needs of the population, according to COGAT. It is anticipated that the current reserves will be adequate for an extended period. COGAT indicated that it will continue to communicate with the international community and provide updated information on any developments.
Israel closes the border crossings with the Gaza Strip «until further notice».
