Since October 7, 2023, Israel has faced accusations of increasing its annexation efforts in several regions. A wall built in Kfar Kila, near the Gate of Fatima in South Lebanon, was constructed in March 2019. Residents in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank have reported the Israeli military occupying parts of their countries, with some criticizing the actions as arbitrary and fearing further annexations. The Israeli military has reportedly established "yellow lines" and "buffer zones" in neighboring countries. These areas, initially marked by painted concrete blocks, are increasingly turning into dirt walls, solidifying Israel's control over about 53 percent of the Gaza territory. One report claims Israel has expanded its territory by 1,000 square kilometers, or 5 percent of its original size when it was established in 1948. Military operations by Israel following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 Israelis, including 828 civilians and 379 soldiers and police, have caused significant casualties in the region. More than 74,000 deaths have been reported in Gaza, nearly 9,000 in Lebanon, about 100 in Syria, and over a thousand in the West Bank. In South Lebanon, residents are dealing with a "buffer zone" extending 5 to 6 kilometers into Lebanese territory, with a "yellow line" reaching up to the vicinity of Nabatieh at a depth of 12 kilometers. A new section of wall is being built along the Mediterranean. Zaynab Nemr, a researcher at the American University of Beirut, stated that Israel has destroyed fifty villages in South Lebanon since the invasion in November 2024, aiming to create a demilitarized zone without the presence of Hezbollah. She described this as a colonial project under the pretext of biblical reasons. In Syria, the Israeli military has entered the demilitarized zone of the Golan, advancing into the province of Quneitra in December 2024. There, Israel has declared 6,000 hectares of agricultural land off-limits to Syrians, established 8 new military bases, and created a settlement named "Sofa 53." In the West Bank, Israel is reportedly threatening to annex "Area C," which makes up 60 percent of the Palestinian territory it illegally occupies, by installing 370 new outposts, tens of thousands of homes for settlers, and driving thousands of Palestinians out. A new wall, the "Scarlet Thread," is under construction in the Jordan Valley. King Abdullah II of Jordan, a traditional ally of Israel, criticized Israel's "expansionist appetite" at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2024, expressing concern over Israel's growing influence in the region. Timothy Kaldas, deputy director of the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, noted that Israeli expansion has significantly disrupted the lives of people in the occupied territories. He mentioned that these people face searches, detentions, checkpoints, and various restrictions in their daily lives, making peace agreements increasingly difficult to achieve.
