As the delicate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas takes hold, some aid has begun flowing into the Gaza Strip, where many Palestinians are returning home and beginning to reckon with the destruction caused by the two-year conflict.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy says that Washington's special envoy Steve Witkoff and the U.S. president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have arrived in Israel.

Israeli fire killed three people near a ceasefire line in Gaza on Monday, medics said, with U.S. envoys expected in Israel to try to push forward the fragile truce that faced its gravest test so far over the weekend.

A delegation from Hamas arrived in Cairo on Monday for talks with Qatari and Egyptian officials aimed at shoring up a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip,

The hard-won ceasefire between Israel and Hamas appeared threatened on Sunday as Israel accused the Palestinian Islamist group of attacking its troops in the Gaza Strip, before launching fresh strikes in response.

Israel has reopened two crossings in Gaza, while the key Rafah crossing will stay closed to the movement of people until further notice.

An Israeli security official says the transfer of aid into the territory is halted “until further notice” after a Hamas ceasefire violation.

It will take about $70 billion to rebuild Gaza, according to an operational damage and needs assessment conducted jointly by the United Nations, the European Union and the World Bank. European and Arab nations, Canada and the U.S. appear willing to contribute to the estimated $70 billion needed to rebuild Gaza, the UN official said on Tuesday.

The reopening of the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, part of US President Donald Trump's plan for the Palestinian territory, remains on hold despite calls from the UN and aid groups.

For Palestinians returning to Gaza, rebuilding their lives feels at best like a faraway goal and at worst, like an impossible one.

The IDF is continuing to demarcate the Yellow Line — to which the military withdrew under the terms of the current ceasefire — in the Gaza Strip with physical markers. Footage from this morning shows concrete blocks painted yellow being moved by heavy machinery. Yellow metal signs will be attached to them.
