Several Palestinian terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line — to which the military withdrew under the terms of the current ceasefire — in Gaza City, and opened fire on troops, were killed in a drone strike, the military says.
The incident took place this afternoon in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood.
According to the IDF, the operatives had been identified crossing the Yellow Line “in a way that posed an imminent threat” to troops. The gunmen then opened fire on the troops, without causing injuries, the army says.
The IDF says the troops directed an Israeli Air Force drone that struck and killed the gunmen.
Palestinian media reported that two people were killed in the area.
