Dozens of Palestinian families are “besieged” in northern Gaza, local authorities say, as the Israeli military has repositioned its forces deeper into the enclave in violation of a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement.
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.

“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.
Set out in the agreement between Israel and Hamas, 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.
Israel kills at least 30 Palestinians in wave of Gaza ‘ceasefire’ attacks
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.
‘When will this nightmare end?’
The move comes amid a surge in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip that have sown fear across the war-ravaged enclave.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said on Thursday morning that at least 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours and another 88 were wounded.
Medics said an Israeli air strike on a house in Bani Suheila, a town east of Khan Younis, killed three people, including a baby girl, and wounded 15 others.
Israel has violated the truce nearly 400 times since it came into force on October 10, according to an Al Jazeera analysis.
A displaced Palestinian man, 36-year-old Mohammed Hamdouna, told the AFP news agency that people are being killed daily in continued shelling.
“We are still living in tents. The cities are rubble, the crossings are still closed, and all the basic necessities of life are still lacking,” he said.
Lina Kuraz, a 33-year-old from the Tuffah neighbourhood east of Gaza City, also told AFP that she was worried about the full-blown war starting up again.
“Every time we try to regain hope, the shelling starts again,” Kuraz said. “When will this nightmare end?”

Murderous genocidal shailoks - we need Adolf again
5 Hamas terrorists hiding in Rafah tunnel were eliminated by IDF after coming out.
ReplyDeleteAbout 80 terrorists are trapped in the tunnel, Kan News says, as Hamas tries to secure safe passage for them.
But it looks like they have 2 options: Surrender or die.

wakakakaka…
DeleteThe starving rats are coming out of the tunnels one by one.
ReplyDelete🎯 The IDF eliminated a 5-man terrorist cell that emerged from an underground Hamas tunnel in eastern Rafah, beyond the yellow line.
The Nahal Brigade identified the cell as it approached Israeli troops. The Air Force, guided by ground forces, carried out a precise strike and neutralized the threat.
Hamas continues to violate agreements by using tunnels and infiltrating buffer zones to launch attacks.
🇮🇱 Israel will act swiftly to eliminate every threat and will not tolerate Hamas’s repeated violations.
