The IDF says it conducted an airstrike that killed a terror operative today in the southern Gaza Strip after he crossed the designated ceasefire line dividing territory held by Israel and Hamas, and approached Israeli forces.
According to the military, troops from the 188th Armored Brigade identified the suspect crossing the so-called Yellow Line in a manner that “posed an immediate threat.” The Israeli Air Force, acting under their direction, carried out the strike.
“IDF Southern Command forces are deployed in the area in accordance with the [ceasefire] agreement and will continue to act to remove any immediate threat,” the army says.
