Towards the opening of the Rafah crossing: Under the guidance of the political echelon, IDF forces have in recent days completed the establishment of the designated 'Regavim' checkpoint, which is managed by the security establishment in the area under IDF control.
The complex is part of the effort to increase security oversight in the area.
Security forces at the checkpoint check the identities of those entering against lists approved by the Israeli security establishment and conduct a strict inspection of their luggage.

It was reported earlier that the crossing's capacity at the start of its operation will be about 200 people per day, and only Gazans will pass through it. It is estimated that the number of people leaving Gaza will be higher than the number entering.
According to the published outline, Israel will formally approve the list of those leaving the Gaza Strip. The crossing itself will be operated by Gazans, under the supervision of the European Union delegation.
At the exit from the crossing, a technological system will be activated, remotely controlled by Israeli security officials, which will allow the passage of those who have not received permission to be prevented, without a physical Israeli presence at the location.
When entering Gaza from Egypt, only residents who have been approved in advance will be allowed to enter. Here too, the crossing will be operated by Gazan representatives and under European supervision.
After entry, those entering will be taken by bus to the Israeli checkpoint, where they will undergo identification and physical inspection, in order to prevent the smuggling of weapons or unauthorized equipment.
