IDF fires second warning shot of the day at Gazans launching incendiary balloons
An Israeli drone fires a warning shot at a group of Gazans flying incendiary balloons into Israel from the Strip, Palestinian media reports.
The Israeli army confirms that an aircraft shot at the cell, which it says were launching balloons at southern Israel.
There are no reports of Palestinian injuries.
This was the third such strike of the day by the Israeli Air Force, as the army seeks to deter Palestinians from sending the incendiary devices into Israel, where they have already burned thousands of acres of farmland, forests and parks.
