Incendiary balloon from Gaza lands in Israel for 1st time since truce agreed

For the first time since a truce was agreed last month with terror group Hamas which rules Gaza, an incendiary balloon lands in Israeli territory.

The balloon was discovered this morning by IDF troops near the Gaza border, attached to an improvised explosive device, Hebrew-language media reports.

The bomb didn’t detonate and the balloon — which was reportedly tracked in the air by the forces — caused no injuries or damage.
