The IDF killed a Hamas terrorist in the northern Gaza Strip, after troops identified him planning a sniper attack against them stationed in the area, the military said on Wednesday.
"The terrorist was struck in order to remove the threat to the troops deployed in the northern Gaza Strip," the IDF said.
The IDF also announced it killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist near the Yellow Line, which marks the border between Israeli-controlled Gaza and the rest of the territory.
The terrorist was killed after being spotted approaching IDF troops deployed in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a separate event, IDF troops identified another terrorist crossing the Yellow Line and approaching IDF soldiers, and he was killed.
Terrorists killed, apprehended in Rafah
Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF identified six terrorists in Rafah, the southern Gaza Strip, and subsequently struck them. Following an air strike, troops from the IDF's Nahal Brigade searched the struck building.
"Inside the structure, a terrorist who was eliminated in the strike was identified, along with three additional armed terrorists, who were subsequently eliminated by the troops in a close-quarters encounter," the IDF said.
Two other terrorists were arrested while inside the building.
