Israel expands the "yellow line" and storms the town of Yatta in Hebron
The Israeli occupation army forces continued to expand the buffer zone inside the Gaza Strip by pushing yellow concrete blocks and expanding what is known on the ground as the "Yellow Line".
According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli moves coincided with bombings, shooting and shelling operations targeting several areas in the southern and central Gaza Strip, in a continuation of the violations of the ceasefire agreement that has been going on for 8 months.
In this context, Palestinian sources reported that the occupation forces carried out bombing operations northeast of the city of Khan Younis, accompanied by intensive gunfire and intensive flight of reconnaissance planes, while the military vehicles fired north of Nuseirat and Al-Bureij camps and targeted the vicinity of the Gaza Valley Bridge with artillery shelling.
In this context, the Israeli occupation forces raided the town of Yatta at dawn on Tuesday, June 30, south of Hebron governorate.
The Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported that military vehicles raided citizens' homes and closed several secondary roads with earthen berms, in addition to closing the main road connecting the towns of Yatta and Al-Samu' with cement blocks to impede movement.
In addition, the occupation forces closed the headquarters of the Al-Tadamon Charitable Society in the center of Nablus for a year after raiding it and damaging its contents.
Security and local sources indicated to "Wafa" that the soldiers closed the building that houses the association with welding and hung a sign claiming that it is "illegal", and this came hours after storming the Balata and Askar camps east of the city and carrying out raids and searches.
Planned settlement encroachment
The Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission warned of the danger of a settlement plan aimed at controlling about 100 strategic points within areas classified (A) in the West Bank.
The head of the Authority, Minister Muayyad Shaaban, confirmed in a statement that the plan led by the "Union of Settlement Farms" represents a qualitative transformation aimed at imposing the facts of actual annexation, fragmenting Palestinian geography and isolating cities and villages.
UN condemns Israeli expansion
Politically, UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the continued expansion and acceleration of settlements, warning that the E1 settlement project poses an existential threat to the two-state solution.
Settler violence and movement restrictions have caused the largest displacement crisis in the West Bank since 1967, Guterres said, while five European countries in the Security Council (France, the United Kingdom, Greece, Latvia, and Denmark) have expressed grave concern and called for an immediate halt to the expansion.
In a video briefing to the Security Council, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Palestine, Ramez Akbarov, stressed the deterioration of the situation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, pointing out that the expansion of Israel's control on the ground is reducing the space available to civilians in Gaza.
Akbarov stressed that the full implementation of Resolution 2803 requires the withdrawal of Israeli forces, the deployment of an international force, and the transfer of powers to the National Committee for the Management of the Gaza Strip.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor warned of the danger of the draft decision of the "Peace Council for the Administration of Gaza" revealed by the British newspaper "The Guardian", explaining that the arrangements give the Council and its forces absolute immunity from prosecution and accountability and allow them free use of the Gaza Strip's facilities.
The Observatory described this issue as colonial arrangements that go beyond the free will of the Palestinian people, who have the sole right to manage their own affairs.
