From Balloon with grenade found near Ashdod
Police say an improvised grenade attached to a bunch of balloons has been found near the town of Gan Yavne, east of Ashdod.
Police sappers successfully disarm the explosive.
The source of the balloon is not immediately clear. Gan Yavne is some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the northern edge of Gaza, further than most balloons lofted out of the Strip fly.
Dozens of daily balloon-borne bomb and arson attacks out of Gaza stopped last week after a ceasefire agreement was reached.
