Police say officers are investigating reports of suspicious balloons with items attached to them flying near the border with the Gaza Strip.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, one of the balloons has landed near the town of Ibim.

In the past, Palestinians in Gaza have launched balloons carrying incendiary or explosive devices to spark fires in southern Israel.
