RAFAH, Egypt (AP) - The border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip opened Saturday, giving hundreds of stranded Palestinians the chance to return to Gaza for the first time in a month.
Egyptian tourism police Capt. Amr Osama said the Rafah border crossing will be open in both directions for two days.
It marked the third time the border has been opened since fresh fighting erupted in Gaza on June 25. The Rafah crossing opened about a week ago for one day but only for people traveling from Gaza to Egypt. The last time Palestinians could cross from Egypt to Gaza was in mid-July.
