RAFAH, Gaza, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Palestinian officials in Gaza say 3,000 people have applied to cross into Egypt this weekend when the Rafah crossing opens for two days.
The pass-through to Egypt opened Saturday to university students, pilgrims and people with medical needs, the BBC reported, noting the border usually is closed as part of a blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip by Israel and Egypt.
Egypt last opened the crossing for two days in late August.
Meanwhile, in the West Bank, a Palestinian was killed Saturday near the Jewish settlement of Yitzhar after allegedly throwing a homemade gasoline bomb at Israeli soldiers, the British network reported.
Last week. about 100 residents of Yitzhar rampaged through the nearby Palestinian village of Asira al-Qabaliya after an intruder stabbed a child in Yitzhar.
