The IDF says it killed two terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip today.

In the first incident in the Strip’s north, two operatives were identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching troops in a way that “posed an immediate threat” to them, the military says.

The IDF says troops opened fire, killing one of the suspects.

In a separate event in central Gaza, a terror operative was identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching troops, the military says. The Israeli Air Force then struck and killed the operative “to remove the threat to the forces,” the IDF adds.
