Sources told Al-Arabiya that the Rafah crossing would be closed indefinitely. Subsequently, the Qatari newspaper Al-Arabi Al-Jadid reports that Egyptian trucks carrying fuel and merchandise moved away from the border with Gaza after the attack in the area of the Rafah crossing.
Earlier, Palestinian media reported attacks in the Rafah crossing area, leading to its temporary closure. Hundreds of Gazans registered at the Egyptian crossing to leave or enter the Gaza Strip.
