A Palestinian who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north earlier today was killed by troops, the military says.
According to the IDF, the terror operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached soldiers of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
“Immediately after identification, the forces eliminated the terrorist in order to remove the threat,” the army says.
Since the start of the ceasefire in October, the IDF has said it has killed dozens of terror operatives and other “suspects” who have crossed the Yellow Line — demarcating the military’s withdrawal in the Strip — and approached troops. Such incidents have taken place on a near-daily basis.
