The Guardian: 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.
Clashes also broke out in the evening along the Gaza-Israeli border, the army said. A statement released by the Israel military said dozens of Palestinians burned tyres and hurled explosive devices and grenades towards the security fence while attempting to approach it.
The Gaza health ministry said two demonstrators were wounded by Israeli gunfire.
Over the past week Israeli forces have carried out repeated night-time strikes on targets linked to the Islamist group Hamas, which controls Gaza.
