The IDF publishes footage showing a Palestinian terror operative opening fire on Israeli troops in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, before being eliminated.
According to the military, the operative crossed the Yellow Line — demarcating the military’s withdrawal — in a vehicle while “exploiting the humanitarian route through which humanitarian aid enters” the Strip’s south.
The IDF says the gunman opened fire on troops stationed in the area, without causing any injuries. Troops of the Gaza Division’s Southern Brigade returned fire and killed the operative.
The incident is a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the IDF says, adding that in response, it launched airstrikes against Hamas across the Strip.
