Israel Continues to Move Its So-Called Yellow Line of Control in Gaza

HeadlineJul 30, 2026

In Gaza, Israel continues to move its so-called yellow line of control further into the strip. Residents in Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, Gaza City and northern Rafah report having to evacuate from their homes to abide by Israel’s shifting zone of occupation. Israel currently controls an estimated 64% of the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to expand the area under Israel’s control to 70% of Gaza. This is a Palestinian woman whose family was displaced.

Bushra Al-Suwaisi: “Every day they advance more. We settle, they advance again. I was on that line. They advanced three times. They advanced on us here, as well. From where should we leave? We are besieged from this side and the other side. Does this work? It doesn’t work. Please, everyone, make us comfortable. Find a solution for us.”
