The IDF says it killed a Palestinian terror operative who approached troops near the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s south earlier today.
According to the military, the operative was identified on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line approaching troops of the 188th Armored Brigade, “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
“Immediately after the identification, the forces struck and eliminated the terrorist in order to remove the threat,” the army says.
