The term for attempts to seize land without an official declaration is called de facto annexation. It has been taking place for years in the West Bank, and all Israeli tactics in Gaza carry a similar character. However, in Gaza, it is about partitioning the enclave. The construction of the Netzarim separation line on October 30, 2023, was a first indication. Seizing any territory with the intention of partitioning the land is forbidden by international law, even when it is in self-defense, which the Israelis call "for security".
