JERUSALEM, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Israeli forces carried out airstrikes in Gaza on Tuesday despite a fragile ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, saying they targeted a militant who approached troops in the northern part of the enclave.
The military said the individual had crossed the "Yellow Line," a demarcation marking areas where Israeli forces remain deployed.
"Shortly after identification, the terrorist was eliminated to remove the threat," the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. It added that troops under the Southern Command "remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to act against any immediate threat."
While the ceasefire has sharply reduced Israeli attacks, smaller-scale strikes have continued almost daily. At least 238 Palestinians have been killed and about 600 wounded by Israeli fire since Oct. 11, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, bringing the total death toll from Israeli strikes since October 2023 to nearly 70,000.
