The Egypt authorities have opened its Rafah border crossing to Gaza on Thursday to receive wounded Palestinians as the Zionist entity pounded the strip with hysterical air strikes, an official at the border said.
Hospitals in north Sinai, which borders Gaza, have been placed on standby to receive the Palestinians, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported.
The crossing is usually closed, with Egyptian officials citing the tense security situation in Sinai, where the army is battling an insurgency.
The Zionist air strikes have so far killed at least 70 people since Tuesday, mostly women and children, according to medical reports.

Sisi Warns: An Independent Kurdistan Is “Catastrophic”
Local Editor
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned on Sunday that a referendum on the independence of Iraq's Kurdish region would lead to a "catastrophic" break-up of the country.
"The referendum that the Kurds are asking for now is in reality no more than the start of a catastrophic division of Iraq into smaller rival states," Egypt's MENA news agency quoted Sisi as telling journalists.Sisi also said he had warned the United States and Europe about the territorial ambitions of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL).
"ISIL had a plan to take over Egypt," Sisi said.
"I had warned the United States and Europe from providing any aid to them and told them they will come out of Syria to target Iraq then Jordan then Saudi Arabia."
The president of autonomous Kurdish region, Massoud Barzani, said earlier that the division of Iraq is no longer possible to stop, noting that the United States will not stand against it.
“Kurdistan Parliament is trying to start the procedure for the referendum and I believe that International community including United States won’t be against us,” said Barzani in an interview with German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
