The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it killed at least four Palestinian terror operatives who posed a threat to troops stationed in the Gaza Strip.

In three separate incidents in northern Gaza, troops of the 252nd Division identified “five terrorists who carried out suspicious activity on the ground and a terrorist who monitored IDF troops, in a manner that posed an immediate threat to them,” the military said.

In two additional incidents in the southern Gaza Strip, troops of the Gaza Division spotted “three terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the troops in a manner that posed an immediate threat to them,” the IDF said.

In all of the incidents, the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes against the operatives, killing four of them, according to the military. The IDF added that the remaining individuals were also struck during the operations.
