China News Service, July 2nd. According to Reuters, on July 2, local time, the Israeli Ministry of Defense stated that in the early morning of the same day, Israeli warplanes bombed a weapons factory of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance (Hamas) in retaliation against the previous day. The Palestinians released burning balloons to Israel.
According to reports, on July 1, multiple burning balloons were launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel, which eventually caused at least four fires.
This move is aimed at putting pressure on Israel to relax some of the restrictions imposed on the Gaza Strip.
In response, the Israeli military stated that in response, they attacked a Hamas weapons manufacturing base on the 2nd.
Hamas also confirmed that one of its locations was attacked.
There are currently no reports of casualties.
In May, severe violent clashes between Palestine and Israel lasted 11 days, killing more than 250 Palestinians and 10 Israelis.
With the mediation of the international community, the two sides announced a ceasefire on May 20.
However, the peace between the two parties is still very fragile.
On June 15th, in protest against the anti-Arab demonstration held by the ultra-nationalists in Israel, a number of burning balloons with explosives were launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel, which eventually caused dozens of fires.
In response, the IDF carried out air strikes on multiple Hamas military targets in the Gaza Strip.
