In Gaza, Israeli forces have reopened border crossings into the besieged Palestinian territory, after closing them on Sunday in retaliation for Iranian strikes. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres had urged Israel to immediately reopen the passages, which are the only route for desperately needed humanitarian aid, which Israel severely limits. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes killed at least seven Palestinians on Monday, including a child, as Israel’s army pushes the so-called Yellow Line deeper into Gaza. In one attack, an Israeli drone fired at people gathered in Jabaliya refugee camp, killing three — among the dead, 8-year-old Jad Salman, a young boy whose father Youssef was seen clutching his son’s school bag, saying a final goodbye.

Youssef Salman: “My son is 8 years old. What wrong did he commit? He was leaving his school. He was leaving school. This is his bag with blood on it.”
