The IDF says it killed Hamas gunmen who were operating near Israeli troops stationed in the northern Gaza Strip yesterday.
The armed terror operatives had “posed an immediate threat” to the forces, the military says.
The IDF says that in another incident yesterday, troops of the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade identified “terrorists carrying out suspicious activity on the ground in the area of the Yellow Line, and approaching the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
The Israeli Air Force struck “and eliminated one of the terrorists,” and a short while later, killed a second while they attempted to flee the area, the military says.
