The IDF says it killed two terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal in the northern Gaza Strip today.

In two separate incidents, several operatives had been spotted crossing the line and approaching troops of the 188th Armored Brigade and reservists of the Carmeli Brigade, “posing an immediate threat,” the military says.

The troops opened fire on the operatives, killing two of them, the military says.

Earlier today, the Israeli Air Force struck three operatives who crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops in southern Gaza, according to the military.

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