JERUSALEM, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Friday that it carried out strikes in the northern Gaza Strip overnight in response to fire targeting Israeli troops operating east of the Yellow Line.
No Israeli soldiers were injured in the strikes, the IDF said in a statement, describing the alleged fire as a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
The Yellow Line marks the Israeli military's withdrawal line established in the first phase of the Hamas-Israel ceasefire agreement in October 2025. It demarcates areas under Israeli military control from zones where Palestinians are permitted to live and move. ■
