Rafah

Gunmen crossed east of Gaza’s Yellow Line, marking the boundary for IDF-controlled territory, and approached troops before being struck by the Air Force, according to the IDF.

Goldin's remains were returned by Hamas via the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) earlier this month as part of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace deal.

The route runs beneath a dense residential area near the Philadelphi Corridor and continues under sensitive civilian sites, including a UNRWA compound, mosques, clinics, kindergartens, and schools.

"Our troops continue operating along the Yellow Line to clear the area and eliminate terrorist strongholds," Zamir said.

The IDF has confirmed that its forces are deployed throughout the area in line with operational agreements and will continue to take all necessary measures to eliminate threats to Israel.

National Security researcher Kobi Michael: ‘Hamas is trying to insert a new deal into an existing deal, and this is something Israel must reject.’

The US-backed International Stabilization Force will be authorized to disarm Gaza's military infrastructure. Turkey says its main expectation is for the force to guarantee the ceasefire holds.

The IDF assessed that the four Gazans they identified are part of the approximately 200 terrorists that remain in the “terror pocket” in Rafah.

Notably, no country has agreed to take the Hamas terrorists in after they are deported.
