On Tuesday, Israeli troops spotted a terrorist crossing the Yellow Line while carrying a “suspicious object.”
The terrorist attempted to approach the troops and was deemed an immediate threat. The IDF then fired at the terrorist, killing them in order to remove the threat.
Similarly, on Monday, the IDF identified an additional terrorist crossing the Yellow Line.
The terrorist, who was spotted while approaching Israeli troops, was also deemed an immediate threat and was killed.
In the statements, the IDF reaffirmed that troops along the Yellow Line “remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
Hamas rearmament efforts continuously foiled
The two incidents occured after Israel killed top Hamas official, Ra’ad Sa’ad, on Saturday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the assassination was ordered due to Sa’ad’s participation in and contributions to Hamas rearmament efforts.
Sa’ad was also involved in the planning of the October 7 massacre and was one of the last living Hamas officials involved in the plot before his death.
