Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade stationed in the southern Gaza Strip opened fire on a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line today, the military says.

The IDF says the operative posed “an immediate threat” to the soldiers.

“The troops opened fire on the terrorists to remove the threat, and a hit was identified,” the military says.
