On day 339 of the Israel-Gaza war, more than 630,000 students in Gaza will not be returning to school on Monday, as Israel’s war on the Palestinian enclave disrupts schooling for a second year.
Israeli bombardment has caused mobile phone and internet outages in central and southern Gaza, according to service provider Paltel and the Wafa news agency.
The King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan will reopen on Monday morning after a brief closure over an attack that killed three Israeli security guards. The gunman has been identified as a Jordanian citizen.
