‘Creeping death’: Israel weaponises ‘Yellow Line’ to annex Gaza
- In Gaza, the Israeli military only needs to move a yellow concrete block a few metres to rewrite the geography on the ground.
- Originally placed as field markers following the ceasefire to separate Israeli forces from areas slated for withdrawal, these blocks have transformed into an advancing front line.
- According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), this restricted access zone, which Israel calls the “Yellow Line“, expanded to cover 64.9 percent of the Gaza Strip by June 2026, up from 53 percent earlier in the year.
