Sirens wail as projectile is fired at Israel after clash on Gaza border
Projectile lands near cowshed in Eshkol-area community; it follows IDF strike on cell launching ‘fire balloons’ at Israel that killed one Hamas member
A projectile was fired from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel on Thursday afternoon, causing neither damage nor injury, shortly after a clash at the volatile border.
In response, an IDF tank shelled a nearby Hamas observation post, east of the city of Rafah, the army said.
The projectile attack set off sirens throughout the Eshkol region, east of Gaza, at 4:45 p.m., sending thousands of residents scrambling to bomb shelters, as they have repeatedly in recent weeks.
