Israeli Military Expands Gaza ‘Yellow Line’ Restriction Zone in Eastern Gaza City
On June 15, 2026, OCHA reported that dozens of Palestinian families were forcibly displaced from eastern Gaza City after Israeli troops deployed yellow cement blocks to expand the 'Yellow Line' restricted area. The zone, established in late 2025, restricts civilian movement near military-monitored boundaries. UN officials expressed concern over the expansion, noting that civilians found within the perimeter face lethal force, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the Strip.
