IDF troops operating Saturday in the northern Gaza Strip identified two terrorists who crossed the yellow line and approached the troops, posing an immediate threat to them.
Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the terrorist.
"IDF troops in the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," the IDF stressed.
Earlier this week, the IDF announced that troops of the 2nd Brigade, under the command of the 252nd Division, completed their mission in the area and are now concluding their sixth operative rotation, exiting the Gaza Strip. They will be replaced by troops from the 16th Brigade.
During their activity, the troops eliminated dozens of terrorists, located weapons belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, and dismantled weapons, including explosive devices, mortars, shells, mines, rocket launchers, and rockets intended for launch toward the territory of the State of Israel.
Additionally, the troops dismantled hundreds of terrorist infrastructure sites, including several tunnel shafts leading to underground routes that were used by terrorists for prolonged stays and for carrying out activity against IDF troops deployed in the area.
