The Israel Defense Forces says it carried out drone strikes against two Hamas posts in the Gaza Strip in response to renewed rioting on the border and incendiary balloons that sparked three fires in southern Israel.

A third Hamas post was shelled by a tank after a Palestinian gunman opened fire at troops on the border, the IDF adds.

No Israeli soldiers were hurt amid the violence on the border.

At least 28 Palestinians have been injured, according to the Gaza health ministry.
