Israel Hayom

IDF aircraft bombed several sites belonging to the Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip for a fifth night in a row, the army said early Sunday.

Shortly after that announcement, the IDF said Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired two rockets into southern Israel that were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Debris from one of the rockets damaged a home in the southern Israeli city of Sderot. Two people were reportedly suffering from shock.

The IDF said the airstrikes were in response to arson balloons that Hamas-affiliated groups launched across the Gaza frontier into Israeli territory. The balloons have caused dozens of fires that burned Israeli farmland in recent days.

On Saturday, dozens of Palestinians took part in nighttime protests along the Gaza-Israel security fence. The IDF said the protesters “burned tires, hurled explosive devices and grenades towards the security fence and attempted to approach it.”
