Hamas has practiced deploying troops near the yellow line within the Gaza Strip in recent days, according to Israeli journalist Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom), citing censored reporting. The exercise, conducted close to the buffer zone, underscores ongoing friction along the strip’s internal boundary amid internal Palestinian tensions.
Ariel Kahana, the diplomatic correspondent for Israel Hayom, reported Sunday morning under censorship restrictions that Hamas has been conducting troop exercises in recent days near the yellow line — the de facto buffer zone the IDF maintains within the Gaza Strip. The exact location, scale, and nature of the drills were withheld under censorship. The report adds to a growing picture of internal tensions and military activity along the yellow line. As The Zioneer previously reported, armed militia operatives have crossed the yellow line in northern Gaza to taunt Hamas, and Hamas has complained of Israeli movements shifting the line westward. The yellow line has been a persistent flashpoint, with the IDF also pushing it southward in recent weeks and soldiers reporting restrictive rules of engagement at the boundary.
