Israeli soldiers kill Palestinian who crossed into part of Gaza controlled by Israelis Israeli soldiers on Friday killed a Palestinian who crossed the 'Yellow Line' in southern Gaza, which demarcates more than 50 percent of the Gaza Strip that the Israel currently controls. In a statement, the military said the "terrorist...approached the troops, posing an immediate threat to them" - something they have said about all Palestinians they have killed crossing the yellow line, including children. The 'Yellow Line' is not clearly demarcated on the ground, making it difficult for displaced Palestinians returning to their homes to know.
