Hamas says 600 people may leave Gaza on Nov. 2

Hamas said 600 more foreigners and dual nationals, including 400 American citizens, are expected to leave Gaza on November 2.

That would be the second batch to exit since the border with Egypt was opened Wednesday — when people were allowed to leave for the first time since the Israel-Hamas war started on October 7, TASS reports.

The Gaza Strip Border Guard on Thursday night published a list containing the names of almost 600 people who can leave the enclave through the Rafah checkpoint on the border with Egypt on Thursday.

"The General Directorate of Border Crossings and Borders announces the publication of the list of foreign passport holders for travel through the Rafah land border crossing on Thursday, November 2," the directorate said on Facebook.

The file attached to the message contains the names and passport information of 596 foreigners and dual citizens, including 400 US citizens. The list also includes citizens of Belgium, Bahrain, the Netherlands, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Switzerland and South Korea.
