IDF troops in the northern Gaza Strip identified several terrorists who crossed a designated boundary, planted an explosive device, and approached the soldiers, posing an immediate threat. In response, the Israeli Air Force targeted and eliminated the group to neutralize the danger.

The IDF remains deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and continues to act against immediate threats in the region. Earlier in the week, troops discovered and dismantled a one-kilometer-long underground tunnel near the border, which contained weapons and hideouts used by militants.

The operation involved multiple units working together over several weeks to clear the area of threats, and additional tunnels have been uncovered along the controlled boundary in recent weeks.
