IDF says it struck Gaza terror operatives who approached troops

The military says it struck terror operatives in Gaza who engaged in “suspicious activity on the ground” and approached troops in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today.

According to the IDF, troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade identified the operatives on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line. The army says that in addition to “carrying out suspicious activity on the ground,” the operatives approached the soldiers “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”

After they were identified, the Israeli Air Force struck and “eliminated two of the terrorists to remove the threat,” the IDF says. It does not specify what happened to the others.
