During a visit to the Gaza Strip, Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir described the Yellow Line, marking the current ceasefire position, as 'a new border line.' Zamir emphasized that Israel controls significant areas in Gaza and will not allow Hamas to regroup, framing the line as both a defensive and offensive position. He reiterated the importance of returning the final fallen hostage before moving to the next phase of the ceasefire, which would involve further military withdrawal if Hamas begins to disarm. Zamir also urged troops to remain vigilant and prepared for potential surprises, highlighting ongoing military readiness as a central focus for the future.
