Katz: The Israeli army has begun marking the first withdrawal line in Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Friday that the Israeli army has begun marking clarifying signs on what is known as the "yellow line," to which it withdrew under the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Katz stated in a post on the American platform "X": "Under my instructions, the Israeli army has started marking the yellow line, which covers more than 50 percent of the Gaza Strip."

He indicated that "the special marking process is ongoing to clearly define the location of the Israeli withdrawal line."

He warned that "any violation or attempt to cross the line will be met with gunfire."

On October 10, the Israeli army partially withdrew from several areas in the Gaza Strip to new positions within the strip, referred to as the "yellow line," coinciding with the implementation of the ceasefire agreement at that time.

The army's withdrawals included Gaza City (north) except for the Shuja'iyya neighborhood and parts of the Tuffah and Zaitoun neighborhoods.

In Khan Younis, the Israeli army withdrew from central areas and parts of the east, while preventing Palestinians from entering the towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia (north), the city of Rafah, and the sea of the strip.

On Tuesday, Hamas stated in a statement that the Israeli army killed a number of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the morning in "violation of the ceasefire agreement."

Meanwhile, the Israeli army acknowledged at that time that it had fired at a number of Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip, claiming they had crossed what is known as the "yellow line."

This agreement is based on a plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, whose country supported the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza since October 8, 2023, which has resulted in the deaths of 67,967 Palestinians, in addition to 170,179 injured, most of whom are children and women, and has destroyed about 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.

The Trump plan also calls for a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army, mutual release of prisoners, immediate entry of aid into the strip, and disarmament of Hamas.
