Israeli Army Chief Eyal Zamir declared a "yellow line" as the new de facto border within Gaza during a visit to Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya on Sunday. The demarcation marks areas where Israeli troops remain stationed under ceasefire terms activated on October 10 this year. 🗺️
"This line protects our communities and enables operational readiness," Zamir stated, emphasizing plans to prevent Hamas from regrouping. Israeli forces have reportedly killed dozens of Palestinians near the zone since October 11, with Gaza health authorities reporting over 370 fatalities in the past two months. ⚔️
The announcement comes as Hamas retains the body of Ran Gvili, the last deceased hostage not yet repatriated. While 20 living hostages and 27 bodies were released earlier, Gvili’s case remains a sticking point. 💔
With the Israel-Hamas conflict’s death toll now at 70,360 since October 2023, analysts warn the "yellow line" could deepen territorial disputes. "This isn’t just paint on a map—it’s a powder keg," said one regional observer. 🔥
