Jerusalem, 9 February, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Israeli agency COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories: Judea and Samaria and towards the Gaza Strip) reported that, in accordance with the ceasefire greement and Israel’s commitments, operations at the rafah crossing are ongoing.
Over the past week, approximately 100 patients and escorts exited through the Rafah Crossing on Gaza’s southern border into Egypt, and approximately 100 Gazans entered Gaza.
Yesterday, on 8 February, an additional ~50 people exited through the crossing, and 50 people entered Gaza.
Gazans passing through the Rafah crossing are contingent upon the submission of approved passenger lists by the Egyptian authorities and the World Health Organization and the crossing’s capacity.
“Israel will continue working closely with its partners to facilitate the entry and exit of Gazans through the Rafah Crossing, in line with the agreed framework,” said COGAT.
