The IDF says troops shot dead a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s south earlier today.

The operative was identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching reservists of the Negev Brigade “in a manner that posed an immediate threat,” the military says.

“Immediately after the identification, the troops opened fire and eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat,” the IDF adds.
