According to a report on ynet, Israel expanded its ground control in the Gaza Strip, advancing the 'yellow line' — a concrete barrier strip marking the area under Israeli control. No further details on the extent of the advance were provided.
ynet reported Saturday morning that Israel expanded its ground control in the Gaza Strip, advancing the 'yellow line'. The report did not specify the location or extent of the advance.
The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple yellow line advances throughout the past month. On July 2, Gazan sources reported the yellow line reaching the sea in western Beit Lahia. On July 1, it was reported expanded south of Khan Yunis. On June 30, the IDF announced an expansion of operational control. Earlier, on June 20, the line was pushed into the southern Strip, and on June 12, Hamas accused Israel of moving it westward in Gaza City.
The yellow line, a concrete-barrier strip, marks the area under Israeli control within the Gaza Strip. It has been a subject of contention, with Hamas and Egypt accusing Israel of territorial expansion. The reports come amid ongoing ground operations against Hamas.
It remains unclear whether Saturday's report represents a significant new push or a confirmation of previously reported moves. The ynet report is the only source at this stage.
