The Israeli military has said its Paratroopers Brigade killed two Palestinians in Gaza.

The military said the Palestinians crossed the so-called “yellow line."

Under the US-brokered agreement reached with Hamas last October, Israel was supposed to withdraw to the yellow line while temporarily retaining control over 53 percent of Gaza.

But Israel is pushing the so-called yellow line deeper into Gaza, displacing Palestinian families and tightening its siege by squeezing more than two million people into an increasingly small section of the devastated enclave.
