IDF Division 99 troops detained a knife-armed Hamas terrorist after he crossed the Yellow Line in central Gaza, the military said. The IDF said troops identified him approaching the line with the intent to cross, tracked him and took him into custody after the crossing. He was transferred for questioning in Israeli territory. Southern Command forces remain deployed under the agreement and will continue acting against immediate threats, according to the military. The IDF did not name the detainee or disclose the precise location or timing of the incident.
