There are reportedly hundreds of fighters trapped underground in Israeli controlled areas behind the Trump "yellow line", mainly in the Tel al Sultan, Shabboura, and eastern Khan Younis regions.

The families of these fighters,many of whose are in camps in the Muwassi area, have received desperate calls from their trapped sons claiming they were abandoned by the leadership and are voicing outrage toward the Hamas movement leadership for failing to assist them and effectively cutting their hope for survival.
