One Israeli combat soldier described how members of his unit yelled in celebration and congratulated each other after shooting a Palestinian car driving near the yellow line, "killing everyone inside."

The soldier said scenes like this had "become common" after the ceasefire took effect.

"In the weeks he was stationed in Gaza, he said, he saw soldiers relishing the chance to go after those who crossed — or came close to crossing — the so-called yellow line," AP wrote.

In many cases, Israeli forces have failed or refused to clearly mark the yellow line, leading to confusion among Palestinians living near it and giving Israeli troops the opportunity to kill them for sport.
