The IDF says troops shot dead a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today.

The operative was identified approaching troops of the 188th Armored Brigade “in a way that posed an immediate threat,” the military says.

The soldiers opened fire and “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat,” the IDF adds.
