15.10.2025The Day of the Rafah Crossing Reopening Amidst Body Exchanges
Palestinian media on October 15 focused on Israel's decision to reopen the Rafah crossing and resume aid to Gaza, initially linked to the handover of four Israeli bodies in the morning. This developed alongside reports of ongoing Israeli attacks and the return of Palestinian bodies. Mid-morning, reports indicated the Rafah crossing would not open due to logistical reasons, even as Hamas continued to deliver Israeli bodies. By early afternoon, the Ministry of Health reported escalating casualties, and Hamas continued operations against occupation vehicles. In the evening, Hamas confirmed delivering two additional Israeli bodies, stating they had recovered all accessible ones. The Rafah crossing continued to be prepared for reopening following Egyptian pressure, while Donald Trump warned of a potential resumption of fighting if Hamas failed to comply with agreements.
