IDF says it killed 3 Palestinians for crossing Gaza’s Yellow Line in two separate incidents

The IDF says it killed three Palestinians who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal in two separate incidents in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today.

In the first incident, the military says two “suspects” were identified by troops of the Kfir Brigade crossing the line in the Khan Younis area, carrying out “suspicious activity in the ground,” and approaching the forces “in a way that posed an immediate threat.”

After the pair were identified, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed them “to remove the threat,” the IDF says. Palestinian media reported earlier that the two killed in the strike were young children.

In another incident, the IDF says troops of the Nahal Brigade identified a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line in the Rafah area and approached the forces.

The soldiers “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat,” the army says.
