BBC Verify says Israel is exerting control deeper into Gaza than the ceasefire’s mapped “Yellow Line” indicated, after videos and satellite images showed concrete markers placed hundreds of metres inside the Strip near al-Atatra and Khan Younis. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned crossings would be met with fire; at least two deadly incidents have occurred, including a 17 October strike that Gaza’s Civil Defence says killed 11 civilians after a vehicle crossed the line. The IDF says the blocks, set every 200 metres, provide tactical clarity, but confusion and legal questions persist amid shifting maps and warnings.
