STORYLINE:
Israel started to allow rubble-removing equipment like bulldozers into the Gaza Strip on Tuesday as part of the ceasefire deal, according to an Associated Press journalist and Egypt’s state-run media.
The AP journalist in southern Gaza saw two bulldozers clearing rubble in an area not far from the Palestinian side of Rafah border crossing.
The bulldozers entered Rafah earlier Tuesday through the Kerem Shalom (Israeli) crossing after undergoing inspection by the Israeli military, one Egyptian driver told AP.
The driver, who is from the city of el-Arish in the Sinai Peninsula, said dozens of bulldozers and tractors were waiting at Kerem Shalom crossing for Israeli permission to enter Gaza.
Later on Tuesday, flares were seen in the area near the border between Gaza and Egypt.
Witnesses reported hearing shooting and explosions but the situation was unclear.
