Story summary
- IDF is constructing a sand-wall barrier that separates Gaza areas it controls from Hamas-held zones.
- Over 23 km of the barrier now exist, covering more than half of Gaza’s 40 km length.
- The southern wall grew from about 0.5 km on July 1 to roughly 2.4 km by July 15.
- Planet Labs PBC supplied satellite images, which the IDF cites to say the barrier creates a “no-go point” to deter Hamas infiltration.
