The IDF says it carried out airstrikes against several terror operatives who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north today.

In one incident, the army says several suspects were identified gathering near the Yellow Line.

Reservists of the Jerusalem Brigade then opened fire to disperse them, and a short while later, three terror operatives crossed the line and approached the troops “in a way that posed an immediate threat,” the IDF says,

In two other separate incidents, the IDF says two terror operatives crossed the Yellow Line and approached forces of the Jerusalem Brigade and the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade.

In all three incidents, the Israeli Air Force struck “the terrorists to remove the threat,” the military says.

Since the start of the ceasefire in October, the IDF has said it has killed dozens of terror operatives and other suspects who have crossed the Yellow Line — demarcating the Israeli-held part of the Strip — and approached troops. Such incidents have taken place on a near-daily basis.
