The IDF says it killed two Palestinian terror operatives who posed a threat to troops in the Gaza Strip yesterday.

In one incident in northern Gaza, troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade identified “a terrorist who operated in the area of the Yellow Line and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat,” according to the military. The troops opened fire and “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat.”

The IDF says that in a second incident, in the Strip’s south, troops of the Negev Brigade killed a “terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
