Israel Constructs Earthen Barrier Along Gaza's Ceasefire Boundary
Satellite imagery and Israeli military confirmation reveal rapid construction of a more than 23-kilometer earthen barrier across Gaza, dividing the territory along the 'yellow line' established in the October ceasefire with Hamas. Intended to prevent infiltration and protect Israeli troops and nearby communities, the barrier cuts through demolished Palestinian areas. While the ceasefire envisioned this division as temporary, Palestinians fear it may become a permanent border. U.S. monitoring bodies have not commented on the barrier's expansion.
