| [IsraelTimes] The military says a Palestinian terror operative who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s south yesterday was killed by troops. According to the IDF, the terror operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached soldiers of the 188th Armored Brigade “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.” The troops then “eliminated the terrorist in order to remove the threat,” the army says. 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 — demarcating the military’s withdrawal in the Strip — and approached troops. Such incidents have taken place on a near-daily basis. Army says it demolished kilometer-long Hamas tunnel in Gaza’s Rafah [IsraelTimes] A kilometer-long Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza’s Rafah was recently demolished by combat engineers, the military says. According to the IDF, the tunnel featured several rooms where Hamas operatives would hide out. Inside, the army says troops found several weapons. The tunnel was found on the Israeli side of the Gaza ceasefire line, in an area of Rafah where dozens of Hamas operatives were holed up underground, during mop-up operations of the 7th Armored Brigade. It was then razed by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit. In addition, the military says the forces demolished one of the tunnel shafts used by Hamas operatives in a deadly attack on troops on October 28, 2025, during which Master Sgt. (res.) Yona Efraim Feldbaum was killed. The 7th Brigade has now been withdrawn from the Rafah area after three months of operations, and it has been replaced by other forces. |
