New images have revealed that Israel is exerting control over more of Gaza than expected from the ceasefire deal with Hamas. Under the agreement, Israel was to withdraw to a boundary marked by a yellow line on maps released by the military. However, markers placed by Israeli troops in two areas are hundreds of meters deeper inside the strip than the expected withdrawal line. This has raised concerns about the clarity of the boundary and potential risks for civilians. The Israeli Defence Minister warned that anyone crossing the line would be met with fire, leading to at least two deadly incidents near the boundary. Satellite images and drone footage have shown that markers are being placed along the coastal al-Rashid road in northern Gaza, and near Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
