Israel continues airstrikes on Gaza in retaliation for Hamas balloon bombs

Israeli forces say they bombed Hamas targets for a fifth consecutive night as clashes broke out along border

Israeli aircraft have bombed sites belonging to the militant Hamas group in Gaza for a fifth night in a row, the Israel defence force says.

The military said early on Sunday that the airstrikes were in response to arson balloons that Hamas-affiliated groups sent across the Gaza frontier into Israeli territory.
