The number of soldiers - reservists - killed in the fighting in Gaza has risen to 91, according to media estimates since the start of ground operations. The Israeli army has recently announced the death of two more soldiers.

While Elad Goren, head of the civil department of Cogat, the Israeli agency for civil coordination with the Palestinians, declared that the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza will only be open for inspections in the coming days, as reported by the Jerusalem Post .

A senior American official said that Israel agreed, at the request of the United States, to open the border crossing for screening and inspection of humanitarian aid delivered to the Strip through the Rafah crossing to help speed up the delivery of humanitarian supplies . Washington has been negotiating with the Israelis on the issue for weeks.

And Israel has also released images of dozens of prisoners in Gaza, suspected of being terrorists. Sitting on the ground, under the control of the soldiers, the Israeli media present them as "Hamas fighters" who surrendered en masse to the army. While for the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor they would instead be civilians "arbitrarily" arrested by Israel in two schools affiliated with the United Nations in Beit Lahia.
