Ynetnews reports: IAF aircraft attacked two cells launching incendiary balloons toward Israel from Gaza on Saturday afternoon. So far, no injuries have been reported.

The first strike was in the northern part of the strip east of Jabalia, while the second cell was attacked two hours later in the southern part of the strip. Firefighters have battled two blazes in the Be’eri area on Saturday caused by incendiary balloons.
