The Israel Defense Forces says it is carrying out strikes in the Gaza Strip.

The strikes come in response to renewed rioting on the border and balloon-borne incendiary devices launched from the Palestinian enclave which sparked at least two fires in southern Israel.

The IDF does not immediately provide further details on the strikes.
