4. Terror operatives fired RPGs at Israeli troops in Rafah today, says IDF, prompting airstrikes

The IDF says Palestinian terror operatives fired RPGs and carried out sniper fire against Israeli forces operating in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip earlier today.

The troops were operating on the eastern side of the Yellow Line — an area under IDF control in line with the ceasefire deal with Hamas — to destroy terror infrastructure in the area “in accordance with the agreement,” the military says.

Immediately after the attacks, the IDF says it carried out airstrikes with fighter jets and artillery shelling in Rafah to “remove threats,” during which several tunnels and buildings where terror operatives were identified were destroyed.

“This is a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement; the IDF will respond forcefully,” the army adds.
