The IDF says it killed a terror operative who approached troops in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today.
According to the military, two terror operatives “carrying suspicious objects” had been identified by troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade.
The operatives approached the forces stationed in northern Gaza, “in a way that posed an immediate threat,” the IDF says.
The Israeli Air Force then struck the pair, “to remove the threat,” the military says, adding that “one of the terrorists was eliminated.”
