The IDF says it killed several terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today.

The operatives had “posed an immediate threat” to the forces stationed in the area, the military says, adding that shortly after they were identified, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed them “to remove the threat.”

The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
