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

The military says the operative “posed an immediate threat” to the troops of the Nahal Brigade, who then opened fire “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.”
