Israel begins allowing Palestinians to return to northern Gaza for first time in over year
Deir Al-Balah (AP): Israel has begun allowing Palestinians to return to the heavily destroyed north of the Gaza Strip for the first time since the early weeks of the 15-month war with Hamas, in accordance with a fragile ceasefire.
Thousands of Palestinians headed north on Monday after waiting for days to cross. Associated Press reporters saw people crossing the so-called Netzarim corridor shortly after 7 am.
The opening was delayed over a dispute between Hamas and Israel, which said the group had changed the order of the hostages it released in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
