Three more terror operatives who fled from a tunnel in southern Gaza’s Rafah yesterday were located and killed today by troops, the military says.
Yesterday, some 15 operatives emerged from tunnels at two locations in eastern Rafah. The IDF said that six were killed in airstrikes and five were captured by troops.
Soldiers of the Nahal Brigade conducted scans in the area today and identified three of the operatives who were trying to hide after fleeing the tunnel. The troops opened fire and killed them, the military says.
In two additional separate incidents in northern Gaza today, the IDF says troops identified four terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line and approached forces, “in a way that posed an immediate threat.”
The IDF says two of the operatives were killed in strikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force, following information provided by the ground troops.
