Jerusalem, 4 March, 2019 (TPS) -- Israel Air Force (IAF) helicopters on Monday attacked two Hamas posts in the southern Gaza Strip in response to a cluster of balloons carrying an explosive device launched by Gaza-based terrorists towards Israel.

A spokesperson for the Eshkol Regional Council, in which the explosive charge landed, stated that the balloon landed between two homes and exploded on the ground, causing no injuries or damage. No one was home at the time of the attack.

This is the second Israeli strike in Gaza in the past 24 hours and the fourth in a week.
