Incendiary balloons were found Friday morning near the northern Gaza border in Sdot Negev Regional Council, beside a kindergarten. A police bomb disposal unit was dispatched immediately.
After several weeks with no sight of incendiary balloons or kites, the police released a message asking the public to be on their guard regarding suspicious objects, whether they are balloons or kites. They may contain explosives and/or incendiary materials that may endanger the public's safety.
They emphasized the importance of informing children of the dangers inherent in these foreign items.
At any sight of a suspicious object, Israelis are requested to report to the nearest Israel Police station and to leave the work around the item to the police.
