Netanyahu Orders Israeli Forcesโ toโค eliminate hamas Militants Approaching “yellow Line”
Gaza Strip – Israeli โPrime Minister benjamin Netanyahu has authorized military actionโ against Hamas militants observed crossing a designated “yellowโค line” and approaching Israeli โขforces operating โฃin the southern Gaza Strip, according โขto a statement releasedโ Monday by the Israeli army. The directive comes amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations and heightened surveillance for remainingโ Israeli hostages.
The “yellowโค line” serves as a demarcation zone established underโ the terms of the recent โceasefire agreement.โข Israeli forces areโค maintaining closeโ air surveillance while actively targeting militants who breach this โboundary, posing a direct threat to โขtroops. This โฃaction underscores Israel’s โขcommitment to โsecuring the โceasefireโ perimeter and preventing renewed hostilities, โคeven as efforts continue to locate and โrecover hostages held by Hamas.
The Israeli armyโค reported detecting a number of militants who crossed the line and moved toward Israeli forces. “As soon as they were spotted, the Israeli army,โข by air and land, โขeliminated them to remove theโฃ threat they posed to the forces,” โฃtheโฃ statement โread. Forces affiliatedโข with the Southern command remain deployed in the โฃregion and will continue operations to neutralize any โdirect threats.
Intelligence suggests hundreds โคof Hamas โคmembers remain concealed within tunnels inโฃ areas under their control,โค maintaining dialog with leadership. During โceasefire negotiations, โขthe Israeli โขarmy โrequested control of high ground along the โค”yellow line” toโค ensureโ a safe distance for monitoring andโ defense. An official statedโค the entire line is โconsidered defensible,โ despite portions โขrunning close to the โคGaza-Israel border.
The situation remains fluid as Israeli forces continue to monitor the area โขfor potential threatsโฃ and pursue the return of hostages.
