Israel Strikes 2 Hamas Posts After Aerial Incendiary Devices Sent From Gaza
Israel struck two Hamas posts in the Gaza Strip in response to
the numerous incendiary and explosive aerial devices flown into southern Israel
on Sunday, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Earlier on Sunday Israeli citizen was lightly injured after
an incendiary aerial device flown from the Gaza Strip landed in his field.
According to authorities the farmer sustained injuries to his
hand after a balloon carrying a Molotov cocktail fell in his field outside Kibbutz
Be’eri the Eshkol Regional Council.
Several hours earlier an explosive device carried by a
cluster of balloons launched from the Hamas-run coastal enclave was found in a
field in southern Israel on Sunday, the morning after violent protests along
the security fence.
The device, which landed in the Sha’ar HaNegev Regional
Council in southern Israel, was removed by police sappers and caused no damage
or injuries.
The explosive device was flown into Israel the morning after
violent riots along the security fence with Gaza and hours after the Israel Air
Force struck two Hamas positions in the southern Gaza strip in response to “the
multitude of explosive devices that were thrown and exploded during the night”
by rioters.
One of the devices triggered incoming rocket alert sirens in
the community of Kissufim in the Eshkol Regional Council. The device fell
inside Gaza, according to a statement released by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
