Israel is expanding its 'yellow line' in Gaza

Israel is expanding its military control inside the Gaza Strip despite the US-brokered ceasefire, with new forced evacuation orders raising fears among Palestinians already displaced by the war.

Nearly two-thirds of Gaza is now reported to lie beyond the so-called yellow line, the boundary established under US President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan.

 

Former officials rewriting Biden’s record on Gaza

Three years after the October 7, 2023, attacks and the start of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, there have been a slew of books, podcasts and media appearances revisiting what happened.

Much of this is coming from former officials in US President Joe Biden’s administration who are trying to whitewash its support for Israel and rehabilitate their reputations. They are being welcomed across mainstream media while those with more critical accounts continue to struggle with invitations and access.

Families forced to flee under fire as Israel’s ‘Yellow Line’ advances in Gaza City’s Shujayea area

The “Yellow Line” in Gaza is advancing every single day, so people wake up in the morning and find more area taken by the Israeli forces.

Now, the yellow blocks have advanced in Shujayea, and a lot of families are now forced to evacuate under fire. The Israeli forces are using snipers and are also using quadcopters to force these families to leave that area, which has been under Israeli fire for the past couple of hours.

This area of Gaza City is densely populated by a lot of families that wanted to go back to their houses that are located beyond the “Yellow Line”. That’s why they are on the edges. But now they are searching for a piece of land to evacuate and to resettle in that area.

But according to families, they said that Israel is using quadcopters like ammunition, and there were a couple of injuries reported and transferred to al-Shifa Hospital.

Israel's ‘Yellow Line’ continues to squeeze Palestinians in Gaza

Israel has expanded its military occupation in Gaza in violation of a US-brokered “ceasefire”, forcing Palestinians into an ever-smaller share of the besieged territory, devastated by Israel’s ongoing genocidal war.

Nearly two-thirds of Gaza is now under Israeli military control or face access restrictions.

The original “Yellow Line”, established under Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war a year ago, marked the area to which Israeli forces initially withdrew. They were expected to make further withdrawals gradually, but instead, they have seized more territory.

Escalating Israeli attacks trigger Arab League emergency meeting on Palestine

The League of Arab States is due to hold an emergency session in Cairo on Tuesday to discuss the international protection of Palestinians during increasing pogroms.

The request was made by Palestine’s permanent representative to the Arab League, Ambassador Mohannad Al-Aklouk, who told the Palestinian news agency Wafa that Israeli attacks constituted a systematic policy aimed at displacing Palestinian communities, expanding colonial settlements, and undermining the two-state solution.

Al-Aklouk said that pogroms in the occupied West Bank are increasingly organized and coordinated and represent “a dangerous phase in the all-out war waged by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people and their land”.

Tangible punitive measures, including sanctions against Israeli leaders, are needed to protect the Palestinian people, he added.

Palestinian women detained as Israeli forces stop olive harvest

Israeli forces have disrupted olive harvest season during raids in the occupied West Bank towns of Al Zawiya and Marda, in the Salfit Governate, according to the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

Local sources told Wafa that the Israeli soldiers detained several women who were harvesting olives in the Al Ain area, south of Al Zawiya.

In a separate incident, Wafa said that Israeli forces and Israeli settlers had checked identity cards and intervened in olive harvesting in an area east of Marda.

Many Palestinians in the occupied West Bank describe this year as the worst yet in terms of settler attacks.
