The IDF says it killed a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s south earlier today.
According to the military, the operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops of the 7th Armored Brigade “in a way that posed an immediate threat” while “carrying a suspicious object.”
The troops then “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat,” the army adds.
In a separate incident yesterday, the IDF says troops of the same brigade killed another operative who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces.
