Israeli drones on Sunday afternoon fired a missile at a group of Palestinian youths who were flying fire kites and balloons toward Israeli settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
Local sources said that another airstrike was launched on a Palestinian resistance site east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip with no casualties reported.
An Israeli army spokesman said that Israeli drones attacked a group of Palestinians who were preparing fire balloons near the border.
Vast tracts of farmlands in Israeli settlements neighboring the Gaza Strip were damaged by dozens of flaming kites and balloons launched from the coastal enclave.
Hebrew media outlets described the massive fires that broke out in some Israeli settlements on Saturday as the “most violent” since the start of the Great March of Return in late March.
