The IDF says it opened fire on several suspects who crossed the so-called Yellow Line — to which the military withdrew under the terms of the ceasefire — in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood earlier today.

The suspects had approached Israeli forces, “constituting a violation of the agreement,” the army says, adding that troops opened fire “to remove the threat.”

Palestinian media reports that two were killed in the incident.
