The IDF says it killed a terror operative who approached Israeli troops and “posed an immediate threat” in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today.

The military says the operative was identified by soldiers of the Kfir Brigade on the eastern side of the Yellow Line, meaning IDF-held territory.

A short while later, the operative was targeted and killed in an airstrike, the IDF adds.
