A Palestinian who crossed the IDF’s “Yellow Line” in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today was shot by forces, the military says.
The IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade “spotted a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
The soldiers opened fire and “neutralized the terrorist to remove the threat,” the army adds.
