Israeli military says it 'eliminated' two Palestinians in central Gaza

The Israeli military has issued a statement saying its soldiers killed two Palestinians in separate attacks in central Gaza.

The statement claims that the men approached soldiers “in a manner that posed an immediate threat”, and that its forces "eliminated" them after they crossed the ceasefire's yellow line.

Gaza's government media office said on Sunday that the Israeli army has committed 194 ceasefire violations in Gaza since the fragile truce came into effect on 10 October.

Israeli forces have gunned down dozens of Palestinians for breaching or approaching the so-called yellow line- the newly created boundary to which the Israeli forces withdrew on 10 October.

The location of the line is unclear and it is still being marked on the ground.

Gaza's government media office said that Israeli forces have repeatedly crossed the boundary, storming residential areas and conducing air strikes and demolitions across the territory.
