Israel says four Hamas militants exited a Rafah tunnel, opened fire on the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade, and were killed in return fire. The incident occurred in eastern Rafah within the Israeli-controlled Yellow Line area amid ongoing tunnel-clearing operations; Hamas had been offered safe surrender previously but rejected it, and the violence marks a renewed breach after a similar incident earlier in the week.
An informal 'yellow line' marks a de facto internal border inside Gaza, with Israeli-designated zones shifting across the enclave and covering roughly half to 60% of its territory.

The border’s fluidity—expanding, moving and sometimes disappearing—shapes daily life, livelihoods and safety, even as aid groups warn that rebuilding could take years.
Israeli forces killed several terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line in Gaza and approached Israeli soldiers, with incidents occurring in northern, southern, and central Gaza, amidst ongoing tensions despite a recent US-brokered ceasefire.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a Chicago Transit Authority Yellow Line train crash that occurred when the train collided with a piece of snow plow equipment on the track, leaving as many as 38 people injured.

The NTSB is expected to provide more details into the investigation, while a lawsuit has already been filed against the CTA.
The Potomac Yard Metro station in Alexandria, located between the Reagan National Airport and Braddock Road stations on the Yellow and Blue lines, will open on May 19. The station is a key component of Alexandria's efforts to transform a former railroad yard into an urban center. The project is being built by Potomac Yard Constructors, and roughly $370 million has been invested in its construction. The new station will be the 98th in the Metrorail system and comes after the Silver Line added six new stations in Virginia.
