The IDF says it identified and struck three terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal in the southern Gaza Strip today.

The operatives had been spotted crossing the line in the Khan Younis area and approaching troops of the Kfir Brigade, while “posing an immediate threat,” the military says.

The Israeli Air Force, with information provided by the ground troops, struck the operatives “to remove the threat,” the IDF says. Palestinian media reported that two people were killed in a strike in the area.

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