Israeli Troops Expand 'Yellow Line' in Eastern Gaza City
On June 12, Israeli troops placed new yellow cement blocks in eastern Gaza City, signaling a westward expansion of the restricted military 'Yellow Line' zone. Approaching the area carries a severe risk of lethal force. As a direct result of the sudden zone expansion and increasing pressure, dozens of families—an estimated 200 individuals—were displaced, many leaving their tents and belongings behind to seek refuge.
