Fire balloon from Gaza wasn’t attached to bomb, sapper finds; campus reopened

A police sapper has determined that the balloon that landed on the fence of the Sapir College campus in southern Israel was attached to a simple pouch of burning material rather than an explosive device, a local government official says.

The area around the fence has been reopened.
