  • Israeli forces are excavating extensive trenches in Gaza, reducing the space available to Palestinians.
  • Satellite imagery shows these trenches cover nearly 80% of the new yellow line, confining Palestinians to 43% of the enclave.
  • This military action further restricts the living area for Palestinians in Gaza.

Israeli army excavations in Gaza are creating vast trenches, significantly shrinking the territory available to Palestinians. Satellite images reveal that these military works now span approximately 80% of the new yellow line. This development confines the Palestinian population to just 43% of the Gaza Strip.

The scale of the excavation indicates a substantial alteration of the landscape, with the trenches further reducing the already limited space for civilians. The military's actions are reshaping the physical environment of the enclave, impacting the daily lives and movement of its inhabitants.

This ongoing construction by the Israeli military is a critical factor in the diminishing territory accessible to Palestinians within Gaza. The satellite imagery provides a stark visual representation of the shrinking space, highlighting the severe spatial constraints imposed on the population.
