Israeli officials have confirmed that a significant number of Palestinian militants are still operating in areas under their control within Gaza. This includes the vast tunnel network that has long been a subject of concern for security forces. The presence of these fighters has been attributed to the remnants of armed groups that have not fully disengaged from hostilities, despite the ongoing cease-fire agreement.
The ‘yellow line’ refers to the boundary established by Israel as part of the truce, which marks the area where Israeli forces have withdrawn. According to officials, some militants have taken refuge behind this line, making it difficult to track their movements and assess the full extent of their presence. This situation has raised concerns about the potential for renewed conflict and the challenges of ensuring compliance with the cease-fire terms.
The Israeli military has expressed its commitment to maintaining security and adhering to the terms of the agreement. However, the continued presence of militants in these areas complicates efforts to achieve lasting peace. International observers and organizations are closely monitoring the situation to assess its implications for regional stability and humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
