The Yellow Line Chases the Displaced.. Night Terror and the Tragedy of Tents in Shujaiya

A report from the Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City documents a bloody night experienced by displaced people in tents after Israeli army vehicles advanced and placed "yellow cubes" on Salah al-Din Street, leading to a new wave of displacement and heavy gunfire that tore tents and spread terror among civilians.

A field report from the Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City documents a bloody night experienced by displaced people in tents and shelters, after Israeli army forces advanced with "yellow cubes" (concrete barriers) on Salah al-Din Street, coming within tens of meters of the displaced people's tents in "Shujaiya Park" and the Ibn al-Haytham school shelter. The report describes the night that began with evacuation orders for a nearby building after afternoon prayers, followed by shelling and flying shrapnel that tore tents. After midnight, heavy gunfire began and lasted four hours from army vehicles and "quadcopter" drones, causing panic among the displaced. Testimonies include stories of An'am Arafat, who found her tent torn upon returning; Mona Marshoud, who fainted while trying to flee with her two children under direct fire; and Iman Zeina, who now fears the coming of night due to intense fear. The report indicates that the Israeli advance confines Gazans to 40% of the Strip's 365 square kilometers, about 146 square kilometers. Despite the destruction, shops are seen open on Omar al-Mukhtar Street, indicating Palestinians' determination to survive.
