The IDF is continuing to demarcate the Yellow Line — to which the military withdrew under the terms of the current ceasefire — in the Gaza Strip with physical markers.
Footage from this morning shows concrete blocks painted yellow being moved by heavy machinery. Yellow metal signs will be attached to them.
On Friday, Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the physical markers so that the boundaries of the military’s control are clearly visible.
He said the markers will serve as a warning to “Hamas terrorists and Gaza residents that any violation or attempt to cross the line will be met with fire.”
The IDF has killed several Palestinians in recent days, saying that they crossed the Yellow Line and posed a threat to Israeli troops.
The Yellow Line, as drawn out by mediators, encompasses over half of the Strip’s territory, or 53% — most of which is outside of urban areas.
