Israel-Hamas war: All about Armistice line

In 1949, a cease-fire was signed between Israel, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. The cease-fire formally ended the 1948 Arab War between Israel and the state of Jordan. The cease-fire also established the demarcation of the Green Line which divided the Arab-controlled territories including the occupied West Bank of Jordan and the occupied Gaza Strip of Egypt from the state of Israel until the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Hamas kidnapped about 240 people in its Oct. 7 cross-border attack that triggered the Israel-Hamas war & The attack killed about 1,400 people, while over 9,200 Palestinians in Gaza have died in Israeli strikes that began the same day, according to Palestinian health officials. Recently Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on Friday, saying he will press ahead with a military offensive until hostages held by the Hamas militant group are released.
