The IDF says troops from the 7th Armored Brigade killed a suspect in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today after he crossed into the Israeli-controlled side of the Yellow Line and approached soldiers in a manner that posed an “immediate threat.”

The military does not specify what the suspect did to be identified as a threat.

In a statement, the military adds that in several separate incidents yesterday in both southern and northern Gaza, additional suspects were killed after crossing the Yellow Line and moving toward troops. The IDF does not specify how many were killed during these incidents.

The IDF says its Southern Command forces remain deployed in Gaza in accordance with the October ceasefire agreement and will continue to act against any immediate threats.
