  • A U.N. Commission found Israel continuing to commit genocidal acts during the ceasefire, with heavy weapons fire in civilian areas and the Yellow Line boundary systematically expanding beyond agreed withdrawal limits.
  • Forensic Architecture has mapped over 100 concrete yellow blocks placed beyond agreed lines, documenting how Israel uses ceasefire demarcations to consolidate territorial control while preventing Palestinian return.

      Israel is “setting a permanent architecture of control made out of all the rubble and ruins of Palestinian homes” in Gaza, says Eyal Weizman, director of @forensicarchi.bsky.social. “The shuffling of that rubble is destroying evidence for the genocide.”

    Forensic Architecture maps Yellow Line expansion as territorial control mechanism

    Forensic Architecture's 'Cartography of Genocide' project details how Israel uses the Yellow Line, presented as a temporary ceasefire demarcation marking 54% of Gaza under Israeli control, to systematically expand territorial control. Over 100 concrete yellow blocks have been placed beyond the agreed withdrawal line, with Israel also imposing an Orange Line encroaching more than one kilometer further.

    “When the ceasefire came into effect, most of the area Israel had depopulated remained under its control...Instead, Israel is using the line to expand its control.”
