Israeli troops said to fire toward Palestinians in Gaza; IDF denies reports

The Israel Defense Forces denies Palestinian media reports that Israeli soldiers fired toward a group of young Palestinian men in al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The alleged incident, originally reported by Hamas-linked Safa News, comes amid a rise in tensions between Israel and Gaza in recent days. Dozens of balloons have launched from Gaza and Israel has responded by striking Hamas positions and closing the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing.
