The IDF says it killed a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line, demarcating the military’s withdrawal, in Gaza City today.

The operative had approached troops “in a way that posed an immediate threat,” the military says, adding that shortly after he was identified, the Israeli Air Force struck him “to remove the threat.”

Palestinian media also reports that one person was killed in the strike, which took place in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood.
