As the Egyptian authorities continue to bar commercial traffic from using the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip, imports from Egypt continue to be brought inside via tunnels dug underneath the border. Israeli F-16 fighter jets carried out two raids against the tunnels near Rafah.

Elsewhere in the Occupied Palestinian territories Israeli occupation forces carried out a raid in the al-Fara refugee camp, on the outskirts of Nablus, in the West Bank. The soldiers shot a 19-year old student in the thigh, severing a main artery, then prevented an ambulance crew to reach the profusely bleeding young man, who subsequently bled to death. Cracking down on the upset neighbours, who had been forced to stay away from the bleeding victim, occupation forces broke into a series of private residence destroying property and arresting a number of citizens.
