- Israel is building a miles-long earthen barrier inside Gaza, entrenching its division
The Israeli military is constructing a 23-kilometer earthen barrier inside the Gaza Strip, separating areas under its control from the rest of the territory. The barrier, confirmed by Israel, is part of a 'security zone' aimed at preventing infiltration and protecting troops, but Palestinians fear it is becoming a permanent division. Satellite imagery shows rapid construction along the ceasefire boundary, with sections extending near Israeli military bases and Palestinian tent camps.
