The IDF says it struck a suspicious vessel that passed a maritime boundary set by the military off the coast of northern Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today.
Before the strike, warning shots were fired at the vessel, which the military says was identified as a threat.
It is unclear whether the vessel sank or remained afloat.
The IDF has repeatedly warned fishermen, swimmers, and divers not to enter the sea along the entire Strip during the ceasefire.
Separately, the IDF says troops opened fire on two suspects who approached them in the southern Gaza Strip and “posed an imminent threat.” Palestinian media reported two dead in the incident.
