| [IsraelTimes] The IDF says it killed two terror operatives who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip today. In the first incident in the Strip’s north, two operatives were identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching troops in a way that “posed an immediate threat” to them, the military says. The IDF says troops opened fire, killing one of the suspects. In a separate event in central Gaza, a terror operative was identified crossing the Yellow Line and approaching troops, the military says. The Israeli Air Force then struck and killed the operative “to remove the threat to the forces,” the IDF adds. Hamas-run ministry says death toll in Gaza war passes 69,000 [IsraelTimes] Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry says that the death toll has climbed to 69,169, with another 170,685 wounded since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel. The latest jump in deaths is attributed to more bodies being recovered under the rubble since the ceasefire was announced in the devastated Strip, and also because of the identification of previously unidentified bodies. The toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed over 22,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught. Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas, including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques. Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 476. The toll includes two police officers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.
