IDF says soldiers fired on several terror operatives who approached troops in eastern Gaza

The IDF says it opened fire on several Palestinian terror operatives who approached troops in eastern Gaza City this morning.

In a first incident, several operatives had been identified crossing the Yellow Line — to which the military withdrew under the terms of the current ceasefire — in the neighborhood of Shejaiya, and they “posed an imminent threat” to troops, the IDF says.

“The forces fired at the terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line in order to remove the threat to the troops,” the military says.

A short while later, the IDF says another group of terror operatives crossed the Yellow Line in Shejaiya and posed a threat to troops. The soldiers again opened fire on the operatives to “remove the threat,” the army adds.

Palestinian media reports that at least two people were killed in the area this morning.
