Israel building new land barriers in Gaza and displacing families
Israel is constructing a network of earth barriers stretching over 42 km along the Yellow Line in Gaza, moving the de facto border deeper into the territory and displacing Palestinian families. The barriers, which began after the October 2025 ceasefire, now cover 85% of the Yellow Line. In some areas, the embankments extend more than 1.5 km beyond the original demarcation. Families in al-Tuffah and Zeitoun have been forced to flee as Israeli forces move concrete blocks and issue evacuation orders. Experts say the earthworks suggest Israel is planning for a long-term occupation. Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement, while Israel says the measures are operational to protect citizens and prevent Hamas rebuilding. The UN reports dozens of families lost tents in Zeitoun due to the displacement.
