| Enormous explosions were captured on video, with the Israeli bombs sending columns of smoke and fire into the night sky. | Enormous explosions were captured on video, with the Israeli bombs sending columns of smoke and fire into the night sky. |
| Israel’s military has claimed that it struck a “Hamas rocket manufacturing site and military compound” in retaliation for “arson balloons” launched from Gaza, while accusing Hamas of “terrorizing” Israeli civilians amid the Jewish New Year, celebrated from sundown on Monday through Wednesday. | |
| The strikes come several hours after local authorities in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council reported that incendiary balloons launched from the direction of Gaza sparked several fires in the area. The fires were promptly extinguished and have not resulted into any major damage. | |
| The bombing also took place shortly after six Palestinian militants escaped from a high-security prison in northern Israel by tunneling from their cells into the facility’s drainage system. The escape sparked a massive manhunt by the Israeli police and military. | |
