Almost a month after the initial ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Israeli forces continue to control large areas of Gaza. The Israeli military has established a "yellow line," marked by concrete blocks, which Palestinians are forbidden to cross.
Near Jabalia, many residents report that this boundary separates them from their homes and essential daily resources. Behind this barrier, gunfire and drone attacks persist as Israel targets remaining Hamas militants.

"The yellow line cuts us off from our homes and daily needs," say residents near Jabalia.
