The IDF says it killed several armed Palestinian terror operatives who approached troops in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today.

The cell of gunmen crossed the so-called Yellow Line — to which the military withdrew under the terms of the current ceasefire — in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, and “posed an imminent threat to the forces,” the military says.

“In accordance with the agreement,” a drone strike was carried out against the gunmen “to remove the threat,” the IDF says.

The army publishes a video of the strike.
