Since October, Israel has expanded its control of the group beyond the so-called “Yellow Line”, which cuts off the border occupied by Israel from the rest of the Gaza Strip under the cease-fire agreement. Last week, the Gaza Government Media Office said the Israeli army was now in control 80 percent of Gaza.
