The Israeli military says it opened the “Western Erez” crossing into northern Gaza to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid “in accordance with the directive of the government of Israel and in coordination with the US government”, Al Jazeera reports.

There were no additional details.

The move came as Israeli tanks pushed deeper into the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza and sent tanks back into the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods of Gaza City.
