Israel moves Yellow Line deeper into Gaza, satellite images show Israel placed and later moved control markers in three areas, with some placed deeper inside Gaza than maps suggested.

We mapped 200+ of these markers using satellite images and video, finding 16 of them were moved further inside Gaza after initial placement. Of the others, more than half were placed significantly deeper inside Gaza than marked on maps under the October ceasefire deal.
