“in light of the calm achieved in the area, the IDF has decided to thin out some of the reinforcements it had brought in to assist the Gaza Division this past week. Israeli assessments now say border confrontations will decrease over the coming days, but smaller reinforcements will nevertheless remain near the border throughout the weekend.”

“Earlier Wednesday, it was revealed that Hamas refused to allow two IDF Technological and Logistics Directorate trucks bearing hundreds of lifesaving medical equipment items to enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing. The trucks thus returned to Israel, while six other trucks with similar medical equipment sent by UNICEF (the United Nations Children’s Fund) and the Palestinian Authority were allowed to enter.” (more…)
