IDF tanks attacked Hamas observation posts in the northern Gaza Strip, an IDF spokesman announced Monday night. The shooting took place in response to the blowing up of the explosive and incendiary balloons that were launched last night from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, and the disturbances that are taking place at the border fence.

The attack tonight comes against the background of the escalation in the south in recent days, during which dozens of explosive and incendiary balloons were launched at the envelope settlements, which ignited dozens of fires. This, in addition to the launching of a rocket last night that exploded in the yard of a house in Sderot and lightly injured a 58-year-old city resident who was hit by glass shards. In response to these incidents, the IDF has in recent days been targeting a series of attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Just yesterday, similar to the last two weeks, dozens of fires broke out due to explosive balloons being blown up from Gaza territory in the envelopes of the regional councils in the envelope. Several incendiary balloons were found in the yards of houses in Netivot and Be'er Sheva, as well as near a building in the fields of the Negev. In addition, young Palestinians opened violent demonstrations last night on the Gaza Strip border, which included throwing explosives and objects at IDF soldiers. The tank fire tonight was carried out in response to these incidents.
