In a significant move aimed at bolstering border security, the Egyptian army has announced an indefinite closure of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza.
The closure is accompanied by the construction of a tall concrete wall, designed to deter unauthorized crossings.
It is noted that this move comes amid the increased and escalated situation ongoing in Gaza City with Israeli calls for Palestinians to flee to Egypt.
