An unexploded Israeli Air Force bomb was found this morning in the Gaza border community of Yated, authorities say.
The bomb apparently fell off of a fighter jet amid operations over Gaza. The military says the munition will be safely removed by troops.
Images show that the bomb landed very close to homes.
