GAZA, 30 August 2021, (TON): The Israeli air force attacked two sites in Gaza, the army said, after Gazans clashed with forces on the border and launched incendiary balloons at southern Israel.
A statement from the Israeli army said “IDF fighter jets struck a Hamas military compound used for manufacturing weapons and training as well as an entrance to a tunnel adjacent to Jabalia,”.
It added “the strikes were in response to Hamas launching incendiary balloons into Israeli territory and the violent riots that took place yesterday.”
There were no reports from Gaza of casualties caused by the Israeli strikes.
Israeli firefighters said “two wildfires broke out in the Eshkol region near the Palestinian enclave.”
Protests erupted later in the day, with the Israeli army firing tear gas and stun grenades as Palestinians burned tyres on the border between Gaza and Israel.
The health ministry in Gaza said 11 Palestinians had been hurt in the clashes, three of them by live fire.
