At least seven Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks as military pushes deeper beyond truce demarcation line.
Published On 6 Dec 2025
An elderly woman and her son were among at least seven Palestinians killed in the latest Israeli attacks in Gaza, as the military continues to operate across the “yellow line” ceasefire demarcation.
Health officials reported the killings on Saturday in Beit Lahiya, Jabalia, and Zeitoun, including a 70-year-old woman and her son, who were hunted down and killed by a drone in Gaza City.

The Israeli military said it killed three people in separate incidents, claiming they had crossed the “yellow line” – an unmarked boundary where the Israeli military repositioned itself when the ceasefire with Hamas came into effect on October 10.
However, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said the woman and her son were chased by a quadcopter drone about one kilometre [half a mile] from the yellow line and “left there to bleed to death” as the aircraft continued hovering overhead, preventing anyone from reaching them.
He described the incident as “just one of many violations throughout the day and throughout the past 50 days” since the truce came into effect.
He added that in areas close to the yellow line, many Palestinians may unwittingly cross the boundary because it is not visible.
“There are no clear markings or signage to show this is the ceasefire demarcation that is a restricted and dangerous area,” he said.
Elsewhere in Gaza on Saturday, Israeli forces demolished residential buildings and public infrastructure in the Shujayea district east of Gaza City, launching a major assault with tanks, attack drones, and ground troops that forced Palestinians to flee, Al Jazeera correspondents reported.
The military has begun erecting sand barriers that isolate the eastern part of the city, and Israeli forces have also pushed tanks and armoured vehicles 300 to 500 metres (985- 1,640 feet) beyond the yellow line near Salah al-Din Street in western Gaza City.
