Several terrorists in Gaza fired on Israeli troops in the Khan Yunis area, the Israel Defense Forces stated. No Israelis were injured; nevertheless, it was a “violation of the ceasefire agreement,” according to the IDF spokesperson.
“In response, the IDF began striking Hamas terrorist targets across the Gaza Strip,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.
According to Ynet, the strikes killed at least two senior Hamas officers. Palestinian media reported that several people died in strikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the IDF eliminated two Palestinian terrorists after they breached the U.S.-brokered ceasefire by attempting to cross into IDF-controlled territory in the Strip, the IDF said.
Soldiers in southern Gaza struck and killed the terrorists after they crossed the ceasefire-instituted Yellow Line and approached troops, “posing an immediate threat to them,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said.
On Monday, soldiers in northern Gaza eliminated one terrorist after several crossed the Yellow Line and planted “suspicious objects” near troops, posing an immediate threat.
“The remaining terrorists fled from the scene to the area west of the Yellow Line,” the army said.
Hamas stated that it has no intention of laying down its arms on Monday, after the U.N. Security Council voted to pass a U.S.-drafted resolution on Gaza’s future that envisaged “the process of demilitarising the Gaza Strip” and “the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups.”
