The occupation army claims to have "eliminated" 5 militants who emerged from a tunnel in the "yellow line."

The Israeli occupation army claimed in an urgent statement issued on Friday that its forces managed to "eliminate 5 Palestinian militants."

The occupation army's statement alleged that the targeted group "emerged from a tunnel" located within the so-called "yellow line," the buffer zone in the eastern areas of the Gaza Strip.

This announcement comes amid a significant military escalation in the incursion axes east of Khan Younis, where Israeli vehicles are carrying out intensive artillery and air strikes in preparation for demolition and destruction operations of buildings in those areas.
