Israel has continued expanding its territorial control over the Gaza Strip by moving the 'yellow line' โ€” a military demarcation boundary โ€” to now encompass approximately 60% of the enclave's total area. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the extent of Israeli military control, which reportedly contradicts prior agreements reached with the United States. The move represents a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict and raises serious concerns over territorial displacement and humanitarian access.
