Israel will allow Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt to open on Wednesday and increase the amount of humanitarian aid coming into the enclave, public broadcaster Kan reported, after Hamas handed over more bodies of deceased hostages.

Subject to Israel's security approval, Gazans who had left the enclave during the war will be allowed back in for the first time, and others will be allowed to cross out through the Rafah crossing, Kan reported.
