Hamas on Monday said Egypt will briefly open its border with the Gaza Strip in both directions for the first time in three weeks.
The Rafah crossing will operate for three days starting Tuesday, Gaza's Interior Ministry said in a statement.
Egypt has kept the crossing shut for outbound Palestinians since the Palestinian Authority withdrew its forces earlier this month in a dispute with Hamas.
The Islamic terrorist group seized power in Gaza in 2007 but allowed the Western-backed Palestinian Authority to operate the crossing in a 2017 reconciliation agreement that has since unraveled.
Rafah is the main gate to the outside world for the Gaza Strip's 2 million residents.
