Residents of Gaza City are facing renewed fear and displacement after Israeli forces marked a new withdrawal line, known as the Yellow Line, with large concrete blocks in neighborhoods like Shujaiya. Many locals report that the line, once distant, now runs directly in front of their homes, exposing them to gunfire and prompting a fresh wave of evacuations. The fragile ceasefire, brokered with international mediation, has been marred by deadly incidents as Israeli troops fire on those approaching or crossing the demarcation. Both sides accuse each other of violating the truce, with Hamas alleging that Israel is advancing the line westward and causing mass displacement, while the Israeli military maintains it is only marking, not expanding, the boundary. The ongoing tension has left many Gazans, some displaced multiple times, uncertain about their safety and future.
