A Palestinian boy sits on the rubble of a damaged building in Gaza City, on February 2, 2026. Gaza's key Rafah border crossing reopens to Palestinians on February 2, an Israeli security official says, though Egyptian state-linked media says only 50 people are allowed to cross in each direction in the early days. The resumption of operations comes after Gaza's civil defense reports dozens killed in a wave of Israeli strikes over the weekend, in what the military says is retaliation for Palestinian fighters exiting a tunnel in Rafah city.
