❗️One year after Gaza 'ceasefire,' Israel expands occupation to more than 63% of the strip

One year after the so-called Gaza "ceasefire" took effect, Israeli occupation forces have pushed the so-called "yellow line" farther west in the Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City, bringing additional Palestinian homes under Israeli control and forcing dozens of families to flee, as reported by several Palestinian sources including Quds News Network and Arab 48.

Overnight, Israeli military vehicles advanced beyond their previous positions under heavy gunfire, artillery shelling, and drone cover before relocating the concrete markers that define the line.

Two Palestinians, including a pregnant woman, were reportedly wounded.

The "yellow line," which initially marked the limit of Israeli military deployment after the ceasefire, has gradually shifted westward over the past year.

Israeli forces now occupy more than 63% of the Gaza Strip, up from roughly 53% when the agreement first came into effect.

Gaza's Government Media Office said it documented 5,474 Israeli ceasefire violations over the past year, resulting in 1,488 Palestinians killed, 5,280 wounded, and 203 detained.

It added that Israel has allowed only 34% of the humanitarian aid trucks and 38% of the agreed traveler movements under the ceasefire, while continued bombardment, ground incursions, and the westward expansion of the "yellow line" have displaced more Palestinian families.
