At least three Palestinians have been killed in Israeli drone strikes in war-battered Gaza, nearly two and a half years into Israel's genocidal war on the enclave, as severely limited medical evacuations restarted through the Rafah border crossing. Doctors at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said two people were killed in a drone strike in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, in the eastern part of Gaza City.
Al Jazeera Forum discusses the regional impact of Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Four months into the Gaza ceasefire, Palestinians in the devastated territory are coming to terms with the post-war situation. At this year's edition of the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, delegates are focusing on the power shifts created by Israel's genocide. A new committee of technocrats is expected to be in charge of Gaza's governance.
The number of people moving through the crossing is expected to be very limited, with the restriction that only those traveling on foot can move across the border. In the first days of the reopening, just fifty people are expected to cross the border between Gaza and Egypt in each direction, Egyptian state-linked media reported on Monday. Share Earlier, an Israeli defence official said the crossing could hold between 150 and 200 people altogether in both directions.
This psychological limbo was highlighted this week by the case of Hamza Adwan, a 67-year-old detainee whose family was informed of his death on Sunday four months after he actually died in custody on September 9, 2025. Adwan, a father of nine who had already lost two sons before the war, was arrested at a checkpoint on November 12, 2024. According to his family, he was detained despite suffering from serious health issues, including heart disease, and requiring constant medical care.
