During the riot, shots were fired toward IDF soldiers, adjacent to the Gaza security fence.
According to reports, over the last few hours, hundreds of rioters have gathered adjacent to the Gaza security fence.
The reports added that IDF soldiers were dispatched to the scene and acted to quell the violent riot using riot dispersal means and precise live fire, and that a number of hits were identified.
On Friday, the IDF struck three Hamas military posts, hours after incendiary balloons fired by Gaza-based terrorists towards southern Israel sparked a fire near the border.
According to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, “A short while ago, an IDF UAV struck two military posts belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, adjacent to the areas where a violent riot was taking place and from which incendiary balloons were launched, adjacent to the security border in the Gaza Strip.”
“Moreover, an IDF tank struck an additional military post belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, located adjacent to the area from which, a short while ago, shots were fired at the security forces who were operating against the violent riot. No IDF injuries were reported,” the IDF said.
