🗞️ In-depth summary

The IDF has confirmed the construction of a substantial sand barrier, observed via satellite imagery by Planet Labs PBC, that divides the Gaza Strip. This barrier, extending over 23 kilometers, separates IDF-controlled areas from those held by Hamas. The military stated the new boundary serves as a "no-go point" for Palestinians in Hamas-controlled areas and aims to prevent infiltration into Israeli border towns. The construction has progressed without public announcement, with a significant portion built between July 1 and July 15, extending through areas including the ruins of Rafah. The IDF declined to provide specific details on the barrier's ultimate length or goals, though it has gradually pushed Hamas back from previous ceasefire lines.
