Recent air strikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 13 individuals, including two minors, a pregnant woman, and nine police officers. The strikes hit a residential area in Nuseirat and a police vehicle in az-Zawayda. The Al-Aqsa Hospital confirmed the casualties and reported additional injuries.

The strikes have exacerbated tensions and continue to impact daily operations in the region. The Interior Ministry condemned the attacks, noting that the officers were performing security duties during Ramadan. No official statement has been released by the Israeli military regarding these incidents.

Israel has announced the partial reopening of the Rafah crossing with Egypt on Wed, Mar 18, 2026, following a two-week closure. The reopening will allow limited passenger movement but no cargo transport. Entry will require coordination with Egyptian authorities and oversight from the European Union border mission.

The closure of the crossing has worsened the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where over 20,000 individuals are awaiting medical treatment. The World Health Organization has highlighted severe shortages in medical supplies, with the existing stock far below required levels. The scarcity of essential goods has led to a significant increase in prices, further straining living conditions.
