Hello, What do we know about the possible movement of the “yellow line” and what is its actual visibility? Is this a new pretext to kill Palestinians?
Thank you for your question, which refers to the line demarcating the area where the Israeli army withdrew following the entry into force of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel on October 10. Under this ceasefire agreement, Israeli troops were supposed to withdraw further, in line with the progress of the peace process in the Gaza Strip. This boundary line is marked with a yellow cement cube, as seen in this photo:
Instead, Hamas accused Israel of advancing the “yellow line”, which contradicts the agreed map. Israeli Army “keep moving the “yellow line” inward every day” that region “to the west, and this is a blatant violation of the treaty”Hazem Qassem, spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic movement, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Monday.
Several Gaza City residents also testified to AFP that Israeli soldiers were removing cement blocks. “They installed yellow blocks in front of our house, which was previously near the Al-Aqsa pharmacyone kilometer away, Ibrahim Farahat testified. Now there is shooting all the way to our house. » Some decided to leave the scene out of fear for their safety.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army on several occasions announced that gunmen had crossed its lines or fired at its soldiers, and said that they had killed some of them, also denouncing violations of the ceasefire.
