The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported on Tuesday that they had intercepted another breach of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip when a “terrorist” crossed the demarcation known as the “yellow line,” which delineates the area of control.
This marks the second incident of this nature in just two days. The truce between Israel and Hamas was enacted on October 10.
“IDF forces neutralized a terrorist after they were spotted crossing the yellow line and advancing towards IDF personnel in southern Gaza, presenting an urgent threat,” the Israeli military shared on X on Tuesday.
The statement continued, “The IDF must stay vigilant and operational, as stipulated by the ceasefire deal, to neutralize any immediate threats to the State of Israel.”

On Monday, the IDF said, “Two terrorists were identified crossing the yellow line and approaching IDF troops in southern Gaza, posing an immediate threat to them.”
“Following the identification, the IDF struck and eliminated the terrorists in order to remove the threat,” it continued.
In a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon said, “Israel has always been committed to the terms of the ceasefire agreement and has been equally ready to enforce the ceasefire when Hamas repeatedly violates those terms.”
“The terrorist organization was forced to accept this agreement following the IDF’s significant military achievements and the tremendous diplomatic efforts by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu — and Israel will do whatever is necessary to bring the remaining hostages home and prevent Hamas from re-arming,” he added.

Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi, founder and chairman of IDSF (Israel’s Defense and Security Forum), previously told Fox News Digital that Israeli forces had controlled nearly 80% of the Gaza Strip before their pullback to the designated “yellow line” — a position, he said, that helped compel Hamas to agree to the ceasefire.
“The withdrawal enables Israel to maintain control over 53% of the Gaza Strip, including the Philadelphi Corridor, most of Rafah, half of Khan Younis, and sections of northern Gaza,” Avivi said. “Israel holds the high ground overlooking the coastal area, allowing the IDF to best protect Israeli towns.”

He added that Hamas’ ability to smuggle weapons through the Egyptian border has been significantly curtailed.
