Heartbreaking Scenes in Gaza: Israel Kills Two Children Near Yellow Line, Father Mourns in Shock

Oneindia

Tragedy strikes Gaza as two young brothers, Fadi (8) and Juma (11) Abu Asi, are Killed by an Israeli airstrike after crossing the so-called “Yellow Line” — a fragile boundary meant to enforce the ceasefire. The line, poorly marked and confusing, has become a deadly trap for civilians. Over 350 Palestinians have died near the line since the ceasefire began, prompting human rights groups to call it a “Kill zone.” Families mourn as Gaza’s fragile truce turns lethal.    #GazaYellowLine #GazaAirstrike #ChildrenKilledGaza #IsraelPalestineConflict #GazaTragedy #PalestinianChildren #GazaCeasefire #KillZoneGaza #FadiAndJuma #GazaConflict #PalestineNews #IsraeliAirstrikeGaza #GazaUpdates #CiviliansInGaza #TragicGazaAirstrike #YellowLineGaza #HumanRightsGaza #GazaChildrenKilled  ~HT.408~

00:00Two little brothers, eight-year-old Fadi and 11-year-old Juma Abu Asi, went out Saturday

00:24morning to collect firewood. They never came home. Israeli forces killed them in an airstrike

00:32because the boys had wandered past something called the Yellow Line.

00:37Since the fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect on October 10th, that Yellow Line

00:43has become one of the most dangerous places on Earth, especially for Palestinian civilians

00:50who don't always know exactly where it runs. The line was drawn as part of the Gaza truce

00:57hostage deal. Israel withdrew its troops to this boundary, keeping roughly half of Gaza

01:03under its control while Hamas holds the crowded western half. Concrete yellow blocks, spaced

01:10every few hundred meters, and an online IDF map are supposed to mark the edge. But in

01:16many places, the markers are missing, or the line on the ground doesn't match the map.

01:22On Saturday morning, in the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yanis, the two Abu Asi brothers

01:30crossed into the Israeli-controlled side. Their uncle, Mohammed Abu Asi, says they were simply

01:37gathering scraps of wood so their wheelchair-bound father could light a fire to keep the family warm.

01:43They are children, he told Reuters at their funeral. What do they do? They do not have

01:49missiles or bombs. They just wanted wood for their father. The Israeli Defense Forces saw

01:56it differently. In a short statement, the military said troops from the Kefir Brigade spotted two

02:03suspects who were carrying out suspicious activity on the ground and approaching forces in the manner

02:11of that pose an immediate threat. An Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed both boys to remove the

02:19threat, the IDF said. Disturbing footage from Nasser Hospital in Han Yanis shows the family kneeling over

02:28two small body bags. In one of them, the face of little Fadi is still visible. At the funeral,

02:35their father, unable to walk, prayed from his wheelchair, prayed over his sons as mourners carried the tiny

02:44shrouds. This was not an isolated incident. Gaza's health ministry says more than 350 Palestinians,

02:53most of them civilians, have been killed near or across the yellow line since the ceasefire began. Human rights

03:02groups call it a kill zone. The IDF insists every strike targets only those who pose an imminent

03:09danger, including it claims Hamas fighters trapped on the wrong side of the line. But when the victims

03:17are an eight-year-old and an 11-year-olds out looking for fighterwood, many are asking how thin, how

03:24unforgiving can the ceasefire line really be? Critics fear the yellow line is slowly hardening into

03:32something permanent, a de facto annexation that could shrink Gaza by a quarter or more while the world

03:40argues over the next phase of the truce. For now, in the Ruppelström fields east of Kan Yanis, two small

03:48brothers lie buried. And the yellow line, meant to bring quiet, has become a boundary where childhood

03:57mistakes can cost lives. This is the new reality along Gaza's yellow line, where a single step can be the

04:06last one. Subscribe to One India and never miss an update. Download the One India app now.
