JERUSALEM, Dec 8 (NNN-WAFA) – Israeli army chief, Eyal Zamir, said yesterday that, the “yellow line” demarcation, is the “new borderline” inside the Gaza Strip.
The “yellow line” marks the zone from which the marauding Israeli troops have not withdrawn, in the Palestinian enclave, as part of the ceasefire arrangements that took effect on Oct 10.
“The ‘yellow line’ is a new borderline, serving as a forward defensive line for our communities and a line of operational activity,” Zamir said, during a visit to Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya in Gaza, where he met his brutal division commanders.
He said, the military has assumed “operational control over extensive parts of the Gaza Strip,” adding that, the barbaric Israeli forces “will remain” in those areas.
Zamir added, the Zionist army “will not allow Hamas to reestablish itself” and is preparing for “surprise attack scenarios,” which he described as a cornerstone of the military’s upcoming multi-year plan.
He said that, the mission will not be complete until the last deceased hostage in Gaza, Ran Gvili, a police officer, is brought home. Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages and the bodies of 27 deceased hostages, except Gvili.
The trigger-happy Israeli troops have shot and murdered dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, saying they were suspects, who crossed the “yellow line.” More than 370 Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli fire since Oct 11, bringing the Palestinian death toll, since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Oct, 2023, to 70,360, according to figures from Gaza’s health authorities.– NNN-XINHUA
