SRF NewsState / PublicCenterFactual 80Objective 703 days ago Satellite images from Gaza What is Israel's goal with the Gaza Wall?Israel is constructing an earth wall through the Gaza Strip, according to research by the Associated Press, which has been identified as a boundary around an area where two million Palestinians live under difficult conditions. The wall largely follows the 'yellow line' established in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas but has extended beyond this line at two points, giving Israel control over 60% of the Gaza Strip, with plans to expand to 70%. This development has led to repeated evacuation orders from Israeli forces, forcing people into smaller areas, including makeshift camps and ruins. The Israeli military has not officially commented on the expansion or the wall, though army chief Eyal Zamir described the yellow line as a long-term security boundary rather than temporary. Reports suggest Israel is preparing for a prolonged military presence in Gaza due to stalled ceasefire negotiations.
