Palestinians squeezed' as Israel moves beyond yellow line' in Gaza City
"Gaza's Government Media Office said on Thursday that Israeli forces and tanks had advanced about 300 metres (984 feet) beyond the so-called yellow line in eastern Gaza City. list of 3 itemsend of list The fate of many of these families remains unknown amidst the shelling that targeted the area, the office said, adding that the expansion of the yellow line shows a blatant disregard for the ceasefire deal."
"the yellow line refers to an unmarked boundary where the Israeli military repositioned itself when the deal came into effect last month. It has allowed Israel, which routinely fires at Palestinians who approach the line, to retain control over more than half of the coastal territory. Reporting from Gaza City on Thursday, Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary said Israeli soldiers were seen placing yellow blocks and signs to identify the new deployment line, deeper into the city's eastern neighbourhood of Shujayea."
"But the entire boundary has not been marked, so many Palestinians do not know exactly where it is, Khoudary said. With this latest advancement in Gaza City's Shujayea, more Palestinians are unable to reach their homes. People say this is a cage, as they're being pushed and squeezed into the western parts of Gaza. The Israeli military has not publicly commented on the reports that it has gone beyond the yellow line in violation of the ceasefire."
Israeli attacks across Gaza killed at least 32 Palestinians and wounded 88 others within 24 hours. Dozens of Palestinian families are besieged in northern Gaza as Israeli forces repositioned deeper into the enclave. Gaza's Government Media Office reported that forces and tanks advanced about 300 metres (984 feet) beyond the so-called yellow line in eastern Gaza City. Soldiers were seen placing yellow blocks and signs to identify the new deployment line in Shujayea, but much of the boundary remains unmarked. Many Palestinians cannot reach their homes, the military has not commented on the reported advance, and renewed shelling has sown fear across the enclave.
