Israel to allow 50 Hamas members, 200 Palestinians into Egypt daily for treatment

Israel will permit the daily exit of about 50 wounded Hamas members from the Gaza Strip to Egypt for medical treatment as part of the ceasefire deal, Haaretz reported. 

The injured fighters will be allowed to travel with up to three companions each, starting on the 14th day of the ceasefire until the first phase of the deal concludes on the 42nd day, the report says.

The agreement also allows for 200 Palestinians to travel to Egypt daily during the same 28-day period, totalling 5,600 people by the end of the first phase of the ceasefire deal.

Under the terms of the agreement, Israel's Shin Bet internal intelligence agency will have the final authority to approve the identities of Hamas members and their companions. However, the process and the Rafah crossing will be monitored by Gaza residents, most of whom are Fatah members approved by the security agency.
