According to media reports, an explosion was heard on Saturday in the area of Salah al-Din, in the central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on Saturday revealed that its fighter jets attacked what the military described as a "Hamas terrorist compound" in response to what it claimed was the launch of incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip toward Israeli territory, as well as "violent riots" on the border.
"Tonight, fighter jets attacked a Hamas terrorist compound, which is used for training and weapons production, and a shaft of a terrorist tunnel near Jabalya was attacked", the Israeli military said.
In response to Hamas terrorists launching arson balloons into Israel & violent riots at the security fence, we just struck:
