The “yellow line” refers to a line to which Israeli forces withdrew inside Gaza as part of the second phase of a plan announced by US President Donald Trump to end the genocide in the enclave.
The line separates areas under full Israeli military control from zones where Palestinians are allowed to be present.
The Israeli army has killed more than 72,000 people, mostly women and children, and wounded over 172,000 in a two-year genocide in Gaza since October 2023.
It has reduced most of the blockaded enclave to ruins and displaced all of its population.
Despite a ceasefire that took effect on 10 October 2025, the Israeli army has continued its attacks, killing at least 870 people and wounding 2,543 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
