The Israeli military said it killed four terror operatives on the Israel-controlled side of the Yellow Line in the southern 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 ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

"Immediately upon detection, the troops on the ground shot up the terrorists," the military said, adding that no soldiers were hurt.
Later, the IDF said that three of the four armed terror operatives were confirmed to have been killed in an Arclight airstrike

that was directed by the troops shortly after the initial encounter. The condition of the fourth gunman was unknown.
Some 100-200 Hamas holy warriors are estimated to be holed up in tunnels in southern Gaza on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line. The US has pressured Israel to allow them safe passage back to Hamas-held areas of Gaza, though Israel has not agreed as of yet.
In a separate incident, the IDF said it killed a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in the Khan Younis area.
The military said the operative "posed an immediate threat" to the troops, who then opened fire "to remove the threat."
The IDF said it remains deployed in Gaza "in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat."
Since the ceasefire went into effect last month, at least 245 Paleostinians have been killed by Israeli fire, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Three Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza during the same period.
KUSHNER, IDF SAID WORKING ON CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR GAZA

Kushner told an Israeli source this week that he is working on a plan B for Gaza, according to the report, pointing at the complexity of disarming Hamas and finding countries willing to send troops ready to confront the terror group militarily.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said at last week’s security cabinet meeting that the military is also preparing an alternative plan to Trump’s, and that he will present it soon to the ministers, the Hebrew-language daily reported.
The Trump plan was supposed to progress to a second phase after the release of hostages last month, however the two sides remain at an impasse over the fate of the 100-200 Hamas button men trapped in Israeli-controlled Rafah, as well as the fact that the terror group is still holding on to a number of bodies of slain Israeli hostages.
