The IDF moved the yellow line westward in the Tuffah neighborhood of eastern Gaza City overnight, according to Gaza-based journalists. The barrier shift was accompanied by tank fire and gunfire, and displaced Palestinians relocated their tents further west as the area fell under Israeli control.
Overnight, IDF forces shifted the yellow line westward in the Tuffah neighborhood of eastern Gaza City, advancing the physical barrier that marks the limit of Israeli-controlled territory in the Strip. Gaza-based journalists reported the movement of concrete barriers was accompanied by tank fire and gunfire, and that Palestinian residents who had been living in tents in the area relocated west as the ground came under Israeli control.
The move follows a pattern of incremental IDF advances along the yellow line in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 12, Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire by shifting the same line westward in eastern Gaza City, calling it a 'blatant violation' linked to Prime Minister Netanyahu's stated goal of expanding Israeli-controlled territory. On June 13, Israeli forces advanced past the yellow line at Beni Suhaila square east of Khan Yunis. Yellow barrier deployments have also been reported in northwest Rafah as of June 4.
This overnight advance places additional ground in the eastern Gaza City area under direct Israeli military control, displacing tent encampments of Palestinians who had relocated there during earlier phases of the war. The single-source report from Gaza-based journalists has not yet been confirmed by official Israeli military channels.
