Egyptian army reinforcements near Gaza and a relief convoy suddenly heading to the Rafah crossing

The German News Agency reported that a fleet of 150 trucks carrying humanitarian and medical aid suddenly moved from the Egyptian city of Al-Arish at two o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, heading to the Rafah land crossing, which is approximately 50 kilometers away.


The agency said that the convoy's movement coincided with an intense movement and deployment of Egyptian army forces on the border with the Gaza Strip.


Eyewitnesses confirmed to the agency that the Egyptian army sent massive reinforcements to the border with Gaza.


An Egyptian security source told the agency that the Egyptian authorities ordered the Red Crescent official in North Sinai to immediately move trucks from Al-Arish to the Rafah crossing at two o’clock in the morning on Tuesday.


150 trucks loaded with aid have already moved towards the Rafah land crossing, where the crossing is expected to be opened and aid brought in this morning.


Destruction of Gaza

This comes as Israel continues to intensify its air, land and sea raids on the Gaza Strip.


Israel prevents humanitarian and medical aid from reaching the Gaza Strip, and also cuts off electricity and water to the Strip.


It is noteworthy that the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades and other Palestinian resistance factions have been waging Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli occupation since Saturday, October 7, and have so far killed more than 1,400 Israelis and managed to capture large numbers, according to Israeli figures.


For its part, Israel continues to bomb housing, schools, hospitals and mosques in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of more than 2,800 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children.
