Israel Defense Forces troops operating in the Rafah area on Wednesday identified four terrorists on the eastern side of the Yellow Line, within Israeli operational control.
Following the sighting, IDF troops opened fire on the terrorists, killing three, the military said. No Israeli soldiers were injured.
“IDF troops are continuing to operate in order to remove threats and dismantle the terror infrastructure,” the statement added.
Hours later, a terrorist was spotted crossing the Yellow Line and approaching IDF troops near Khan Yunis, posing an immediate threat.
The troops subsequently neutralized the terrorist.
On Monday, Israeli soldiers killed two terrorists who attempted to cross the ceasefire line. The terrorists “were identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching IDF troops in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them,” according to a military statement. “Following the identification, the IDF struck and eliminated the terrorists in order to remove the threat.”
Meanwhile, soldiers operating on the Israeli-controlled side of the Yellow Line in southern Gaza have found and dismantled four terror tunnels over the past month, the IDF said on Sunday night.
In addition, soldiers located and dismantled dozens of Hamas terrorist infrastructure sites, where many weapons were found.
The Yellow Line runs through the north, center and south of the Gaza Strip, between the area the IDF has withdrawn to according to the terms of the ceasefire, and the rest of the Strip. The truce ended two years of war between Jerusalem and the Hamas terrorist organization.
The truce in Gaza has remained intact despite repeated violations by Hamas, including the killing of three IDF soldiers, and retaliatory strikes by the Israeli military.
An additional Hamas ceasefire violation consists of the terrorist group’s delay in releasing the remains of hostages. Following the return of fallen IDF Lt. Hadar Goldin on Sunday, the bodies of three Israelis and one Thai national remain in Gaza.
