Summary

  • Two Israeli tanks and a bulldozer advanced toward Salah al-Din Street near Al-Bureij early Monday as troops redrew Gaza's "Yellow Line" with concrete blocks, widening the army's control perimeter.
  • Heavy machine-gun fire from drones and border watchtowers hit the outskirts of Al-Bureij camp and the Da'wa College area north of Al-Nuseirat during the advance.
  • The move marks the fifth shift of the boundary in about two weeks, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about expanding Israeli military control over Gaza.
  • Large-scale demolitions also struck areas east of Khan Yunis and east of Gaza City, with explosions heard widely across the enclave.
