“In the face Of this hatred Stand IDF soldiers Alert and determined Ready to defend lsrael Today and every single day.”

According to the Palestinians, 50 rioters were hurt during the day.

Israeli located a balloon bomb on Friday that floated in from the Gaza Strip near Kibbutz Lahav, located about 12 miles north of Beer Sheva in the Bnei Shimon region. The device was deactivated by a Israeli police sapper, Israel Hayom reports.

“I’m saddened that the settlements of Bnei Shimon are caught also in the line of fire in this routine and incessant war. We have national and local security forces, professional and strong, that afford us an envelope of meaningful protection,” said Nir Zamir, head of the Bnei Shimon Regional Council.

An IDF officer and two soldiers were wounded on Wednesday night after a terrorist from the Gaza Strip breached the security fence into Israel and fired at the forces. The troops responded by shooting and killing the terrorist.

Gaza riots began in March 2018 and have occurred on a near-weekly basis since.
