Israel Expands Gaza Control Beyond Ceasefire Line, Squeezing 2.1 Million

A year after a US-brokered ceasefire, Israel has expanded its military control in Gaza, restricting access to about 65 percent of the territory, according to OCHA. Israeli forces have repeatedly moved the Yellow Line's concrete markers west, forcing more displacement. About 2.1 million Palestinians are now crammed into roughly 35 percent of the Strip, with density nearly tripling since before the war.
