Israeli warplanes have bombed Hamas sites in Gaza in response to incendiary balloons launched from the Palestinian enclave that caused brush fires in southern Israel, according to its military.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in the air attacks that targeted what the military said early on Tuesday was a weapons production facility and a rocket launch site belonging to Hamas, the group that governs Gaza.
In a statement, the Israeli army said fighter jets attacked “a Hamas weapons manufacturing site in Khan Younis as well as terror tunnel entrance in Jabalya”.
