The IDF says it killed a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in the northern Gaza Strip today.

The military says several operatives had been spotted crossing the line and approaching reservists of the Carmeli Brigade.

The operatives “posed an immediate threat” to the troops, who then opened fire and “eliminated a terrorist to remove the threat,” the military says. The other operatives apparently managed to flee.

The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
