An Israeli drone on Saturday targeted a group of youths east of Gaza City near al-Awda refugee camp. No casualties were initially reported.
Eyewitnesses told Quds Press that an Israeli missile exploded near a group youths who were preparing to launch flaming ballons and kites.
Since March 30 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have launched dozens of kites and helium balloons bearing flammable materials and occasionally explosives sparking near-daily fires that have burned thousands of acres of land in southern Israel.
This came after Israel’s mass killing of more than 130 Palestinians since the start of the Great March of Return.
