Gaza, Palestine – The Israeli army said on Tuesday morning that it had spotted a number of suspects. These suspects crossed the “yellow line” and approached forces participating in military operations in the northern Gaza Strip.
The army explained in a statement: “Earlier today, a number of suspects were spotted crossing the yellow line. They approached Israeli army forces operating in the northern Gaza Strip, which constitutes a violation of the agreement”. The forces tried to remove the suspects, but they did not comply. They continued to approach, prompting the forces to open fire to remove the threat.
The statement added, “Reports of terrorists infiltrating an IDF site are incorrect.”
He also called on Gaza residents to “follow the army’s instructions and not approach the forces deployed in the area”.
