Additional Information / Shotlist 00:00:00:01 - 00:00:02:28

No one understands where

they draw the yellow line.

00:00:02:28 - 00:00:04:29

One day, you're in the safe zone.

00:00:04:29 - 00:00:06:26

Second day, you're in the red zone.

00:00:06:26 - 00:00:08:11

You don't know exactly.

00:00:08:11 - 00:00:09:26

You could get shot at any time.

00:00:09:26 - 00:00:11:10

All of a sudden,

you can just see tanks

00:00:11:10 - 00:00:12:18

in front of your door, house.

Since 10 October 2025 Israel has effectively divided Gaza with an ever-expanding "yellow line", putting 58% of the Gaza Strip under Israeli military control.

00:00:21:18 - 00:00:24:10

On a normal commuting

route that I've been taking

00:00:24:10 - 00:00:26:10

for four months by now

00:00:26:26 - 00:00:28:06

They started targeting cars

00:00:28:06 - 00:00:29:19

First thing I know,

00:00:29:19 - 00:00:31:08

I felt a punch in my leg.

00:00:31:14 - 00:00:33:18

Pulled up my pulled up my leg

and apparently I got shot.

00:00:34:26 - 00:00:37:24

The driver was obviously

scared and confused,

00:00:37:24 - 00:00:39:18

didn’t know where to go.

00:00:39:18 - 00:00:42:16

There was no cover at all.

00:00:42:16 - 00:00:44:05

just keep driving

00:00:44:05 - 00:00:45:19

and just like

00:00:45:19 - 00:00:47:19

get out of the firing zone

as soon as possible.

00:00:48:10 - 00:00:51:00

Obviously, the roads

were very terrible.

00:00:55:00 - 00:00:57:04

I was going to visit my fiancee.

00:00:57:04 - 00:01:00:00

As I stepped outside the tent,

00:01:00:00 - 00:01:02:13

The occupation army shot

at me on the tent door,

00:01:02:13 - 00:01:04:19

and my fiancee was

injured in her foot.

00:01:04:19 - 00:01:07:17

Two of her cousins were

killed when I got shot.

00:01:07:17 - 00:01:09:25

We’re only about 100 meters

from the yellow line.

00:01:09:25 - 00:01:12:24

There is shooting every day,

00:01:12:24 - 00:01:14:10

Where are we supposed to go?

People have been regularly shot while collecting water, firewood, or approaching their homes.
