Two Palestinian terror operatives who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in separate incidents earlier today were killed by troops, the military says.
According to the IDF, in southern Gaza, one operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops of the 7th Armored Brigade. And separately in the Strip’s north, one operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade.
In both cases, the army says the operatives approached the soldiers “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
“Immediately after the identification, the forces eliminated the terrorists in order to remove the threat,” the IDF adds.
