IDF troops in Gaza have begun marking the Yellow Line, where Israeli troops had withdrawn to, with 3.5 meter tall sign posts, the military said Monday.
The withdrawal to this boundary was done in accordance with the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire agreement.
On Sunday, Hamas violated the deal in three incidents, one of which included firing towards Israeli troops positioned behind the Yellow Line.
In another incident, the terror group fired an anti-tank missile and opened fire on Israeli soldiers in Rafah, killing two and severely wounding one.
Separately, Israel struck terrorists after troops identified them approaching an IDF position behind the Yellow Line in the Beit Lahiya area.
In response, the IDF carried out a series of strikes against Hamas targets in southern Gaza, killing several Hamas members.
US urges Israel to respond proportionately, but show restraint
Israel had notified the US of its strike in advance. The Americans urged Israel to "respond proportionately but show restraint," a US official told Axios, adding that "Nobody wants to go back to full-scale war. The Israelis want to show Hamas there are consequences, without ruining the peace agreement."
