Israeli Military Moves 'Yellow Line' Westward in Gaza Amid Cairo Talks
The Israeli army moved 'yellow line' separation blocks approximately 300 meters westward into Gaza City, specifically in the Tuffah neighborhood. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem condemned the move as a violation of the October 2025 ceasefire agreement. The expansion of control coincided with an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City and Nuseirat that killed two Palestinians. Mediators in Cairo warned that the move threatens to derail negotiations regarding Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawals.
