[IsraelTimes] In ‘blatant’ truce violation, military says at least 5 armed terror operatives entered damaged building on Israeli side of ceasefire line before being targeted in airstrike

A group of at least five armed Paleostinian terror operatives on Saturday evening emerged from a tunnel and approached troops in the northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

The Israel Defense Forces said the incident in the Beit Hanoun area was a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas

, hinting that it would respond. In past incidents of attacks on troops in Gaza amid the ceasefire, the IDF has launched waves of strikes against Hamas and allied terror groups.

In a statement, the IDF said soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras identified the button men coming out of an underground site and entering a damaged building on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line — demarcating where the military pulled back to in the Strip — near troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade who were stationed in the area.

An Israeli Air Force drone then struck the building, killing at least two of the button men, the military said, adding that additional operatives were likely also killed in the strike.

The IDF published footage showing the button men and the strike.

Troops were continuing to scan the area "to locate and eliminate the Death Eaters who may remain," the IDF said.

"The IDF views any attempt by terror organizations in the Gaza Strip to carry out terror attacks against IDF troops and civilians of the State of Israel gravely," the army added.

Since the start of the ceasefire in October, the IDF has said it has killed dozens of terror operatives and other suspects who have crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops. Such incidents have taken place on a near-daily basis.

Earlier Saturday, the IDF said that a Paleostinian who crossed the ceasefire line in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza was killed by troops.

According to the military, the terror operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached soldiers of the Northern Brigade "in a manner that posed an immediate threat."

"Immediately after identification, the forces eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat," the IDF said.

8 reported killed in overnight IDF strikes in Gaza, after army said gunmen approached troops in violation

[IsraelTimes] Palestinian media reports at least eight killed in overnight Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

One strike in the Khan Younis area in southern Gaza killed four, and four others were killed in a strike near Jabalia in the Strip’s north, the reports say.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the reports, but the strikes come after five gunmen approached troops on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line last night, in what the army said was a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.
