Israel reopens Beit Hanoun crossing after deal with Islamic Jihad Movement

GAZA CITY, GAZA - AUGUST 08: Israel reopened the Erez crossing, also known as Beit Hanoun crossing, with the Gaza Strip on Monday. Israeli administration decided to open the crossing for business and humanitarian aid purposes after the deal reached between Israel and Islamic Jihad Movement. The cease-fire agreement came after three days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which left at least 44 Palestinians dead and over 360 others injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Sources had earlier told Anadolu Agency that Israel and Islamic Jihad had agreed to a cease-fire in Gaza to start at 11.30 p.m. Egypt also called on both sides to observe a mutual and comprehensive truce in Gaza at that time.(Footage by Mohammed Alaloul/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
