IDF says it killed 2 ‘terror operatives’ who crossed Gaza Yellow Line and ‘posed a threat’ to troops

The IDF says it killed two terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip today.

In the first incident in the Strip’s north, several operatives were identified crossing the Yellow Line and “planting suspicious objects in the ground adjacent to IDF troops” in a way that “posed an immediate threat,” the military says.

The Israeli Air Force then struck one of the operatives, and the others withdrew from the area back over the Yellow Line, according to the IDF.

In a separate event in northern Gaza, a terror operative was identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching troops, the military says.

The forces opened fire and “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat,” the IDF says.

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