Gaza: Israel has occupied 1,220 square kilometers in the regions of Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, designating these areas as part of its new security border. During the ongoing conflicts since October 2023, Israel has marked these territories with yellow lines on security maps, referring to them as "security zones."
According to Palestine News and Information Agency, following a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip under US President Donald Trump's plan in October 2025, Israel now controls 60% of the Gaza Strip. This area, approximately 220 square kilometers, extends from Beit Hanoun in the north to Rafah in the south. Omri Meshiah, the commander of the Israeli army's Northern Brigade, described this demarcation as "the current security border of the State of Israel," asserting that it allows for unrestricted military action and a permanent presence.
In southern Syria, Israel occupies 400 square kilometers. This region includes nine Israeli military outposts situated 15 kilometers from the border in the occupied Golan Heights, and just 25 kilometers from Damascus. The strategic positioning underscores Israel's strengthened military presence in close proximity to the Syrian capital.
Additionally, Israel has taken control of approximately 600 square kilometers in southern Lebanon, extending 10 kilometers from the Israeli-Lebanese border. Within this area, five Israeli military outposts have been established, with plans to construct 20 more, signaling a significant expansion of military infrastructure in the region.
