This operation is part of an effort to increase the routes for aid trucks going to the Gaza Strip.

The Kissufim border crossing has been opened for the passage of humanitarian aid trucks, the IDF and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) jointly announced on Tuesday. 

This operation is part of an effort to increase the routes for aid trucks going to the Gaza Strip.

It was coordinated by the IDF via COGAT, the Southern Command, and the Defense Ministry's Crossing Authority, which included delivering food, water, medical supplies, and shelter equipment to central and southern Gaza.

The aid is sent to the Gaza Strip after strict security checks at the Kerem Shalom border crossing by security inspectors of the Border Crossings Authority at the Defense Ministry.
