An IDF tank drove over an explosive device Hamas planted near the Yellow Line in southern Gaza during military activity Saturday evening, the IDF said. No troops were injured. In a separate incident, soldiers identified two terrorists crossing the Yellow Line in an attempt to sabotage IDF weapons; the military said they approached in a threatening manner and troops killed them. The IDF called both incidents ceasefire violations that it views with utmost severity. Southern Command forces remain deployed under the agreement and will continue acting against immediate threats, the military said.
