IDF says troops shot at Gazan who posed imminent threat
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF says troops opened fire on a suspect in the southern Gaza Strip who was approaching the forces and “posed an imminent threat.”
“The troops fired toward the suspect in order to remove the threat and a hit was identified,” the military says.
The Hamas-linked Shehab news agency reports that Israeli naval forces fired toward Khan Younis from off Gaza’s coast.
Israeli forces are still deployed to a buffer zone along the Gaza border and the Egypt-Gaza border area amid the ongoing ceasefire, and the IDF has repeatedly warned Palestinians against approaching the area.
