The Israeli response to the terror of incendiary balloons:
During the day, 9 fires broke out in the south following the blowing of balloons in a ravine.
A resident of Kerem Shalom said in response to the fires: "We replaced a government that did not respond properly and we got a government that does not respond at all."
During the night, the IDF began attacking Hamas targets in the Khan Yunis area:
"Fighter jets attacked a Hamas terrorist weapons production site in Khan Yunis, a terrorist tunnel shaft in Jabalya and an underground rocket launching station located in the heart of a civilian population in Shaja'iya, near a school.
At the time of the attack, it was reported that machine gun fire was being fired at Israeli territory, for which the IDF also attacked a Hamas terrorist tunnel shaft in Khan Yunis.</blockquote>
