The day of the Al-Karameh crossing attack

Palestinian media on September 18 heavily focused on a shooting operation at the Al-Karameh (Allenby) crossing. Early reports detailed two Israeli casualties and the death of the perpetrator, leading to the closure of the crossing by Israeli forces. This incident was followed by an Israeli announcement of a Jericho siege. Separately, media continued to report on the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza, emphasizing intensified assaults and casualties amidst communication blackouts. There were also reports of Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades warning about the distribution of Israeli prisoners across Gaza City neighborhoods and readiness for a prolonged conflict. Later, reports emerged of new starvation deaths in northern Gaza and a Yemeni missile strike on Eilat.
