IDF soldiers spotted three suspects on Tuesday night who had crossed the Gaza border fence and entered Israel near Kibbutz Kissufim. The soldiers immediately surrounded the area and began searching for the suspects who began throwing grenades at them. The soldiers opened fire and killed the terrorists.
Following the incident, IDF forces carried out extensive searches of the area, including the use of aerial surveillance, to ensure that no other active terrorists were in the area.
The incident follows numerous incidents of terror balloons launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel in the past week as well as four mortar shells that were reportedly launched by Islamic Jihad last Wednesday.
The IDF announced on Wednesday afternoon that the three Palestinian teenagers who were shot dead after they crossed the Gaza border fence into Israel were planning to carry out a terror attack.

The YWN headline uses a euphemism – “eliminate” – when “killed” would be much more accurate and informative. Is YWN going all PC on us?
The correct word is “NEUTRALIZED”. When I was last in Israel, I went to a place called Caliber 3, where the army demonstrates how they handle terrorist. We were told that they never use the word killed. The terrorist was neutralized. ZEHU.
“Neutralized” is another euphemism. If the IDF kills someone, say so.
We cannot see IDF eliminating anything here !!!!! -thanks for wasting my time……
No dont use the word killed killed implies cold blooded murder whereas a terrorist is a rodeif Of a riodeif the Torah says “ein lo domim“ he has no blood and you are supposed to stop him. that is not murder so the term killed which implies murder is not appropriate
Cue the UN and “human rights” groups condemning the IDF for killing Palestinian children. These are the “children” they’re talking about.
