Israel Police sappers who were summoned to the site arrived just as the bomb exploded. Miraculously, no one was physically injured.

“Fire and Rescue investigators have determined that the fire was caused by an incendiary balloon.”

Sappers arrived at the scene, removed the visitors and disarmed the warhead without injuries or damage.

The IDF did not specify what infrastructure had been attacked.

This is the third incident in which an improvised explosive device sent from Gaza landed in Israeli territory in the last week.

A week ago, Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders threatened to renew the fire after four Arab rioters had been killed during Friday demonstrations near the border fence.

This verbal escalation apparently stems from an increase in self-confidence among the terror groups inside the Gaza Strip, which perceive that Israel is not interested in a confrontation with Gaza.

The PM did not offer an explanation as to why he had chosen not to order stopping those incendiary weapons before an estimated 6,000 acres had gone up in smoke.

“We are preparing a new plan to support Gaza-vicinity communities, similar to that which was implemented after operation Protective Edge.”

The establishment of a new community is a message of Zionism and strength in the face of terrorism,” says Housing Minister Yoav Gallant.

"We say in clear language that we are strong, and determined, and we support the security forces."

The IDF and defense apparatus are aware of this new strategy and are preparing to evacuate the civilian population in the communities alongside the Gaza Strip border – should the government give the word.

Gaza terrorists returned to 'business as usual' launching rocket and missile barrages against Israel late Tuesday afternoon.

Another busy night in southern Israel, where families are racing for bomb shelters while Gaza terrorists fire rockets again.
