The IDF said troops in southern Gaza on Wednesday identified a terrorist operative crossing the Yellow Line and moving toward them. According to the military, the operative approached in a way that posed an immediate threat, prompting the troops to fire to remove the danger; the IDF said a hit was identified. Southern Command forces remain deployed in the area under the agreement, and the military did not report the operative's identity, whether he was armed, or any Israeli casualties.
