IDF Opens Fire Near Gaza ‘Yellow Line’ During Truce

Conflicting accounts of lethal enforcement near the Yellow Line are straining the U.S.-brokered truce.

Overview

  • An IDF statement said several suspects crossed the agreed demarcation in northern Gaza and continued approaching troops despite attempts to push them back, prompting live fire.
  • The military urged residents not to approach deployed forces, saying the approach violated the ceasefire terms set under the current plan.
  • Palestinian agency Wafa reported three people were killed by an Israeli drone strike in Shujaiya, while Gaza health authorities said at least six died in two incidents across the enclave.
  • An anonymous Israeli military source, quoted by The Times of Israel, said soldiers fired warning shots before a drone targeted the individuals who kept advancing.
  • The developments come on the fifth day of a ceasefire under President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, which has paused major operations after prisoner and hostage releases and an initial Israeli pullback to the demarcation line.
