    Israeli army launches strikes on Hamas site in Gaza
    The strikes came in response to Hamas-launched incendiary balloons into Israeli territory

    Israel launched airstrikes on what it said was a Hamas military site in the Gaza Strip early on Tuesday after incendiary balloons were sent into Israeli territory, the army said. Fighter jets struck a Hamas rocket manufacturing workshop as well as a Hamas military compound in Khan Yunis, a city in southern Gaza, according to the army statement.

    Strikes came in response to Hamas-launched incendiary balloons

    The army said the compound houses a cement factory used for building tunnels used for terror attacks and is purposefully located in a civilian area adjacent to a mosque and a water treatment site. The strikes came in response to incendiary balloons launched by Hamas into Israeli territory, the army said in its statement.

    Supporters of Islamic Jihad rallied in Gaza on Monday

    On Monday, hundreds of supporters of Islamic Jihad rallied in Gaza, and the militant group sent incendiary balloons across the frontier in support of six Palestinian prisoners who tunneled out of one of the most secure Israeli prisons overnight. It was the biggest prison break of its kind in decades. Israel launched a massive manhunt in the country's north and the occupied West Bank.

    The escape of the prisoners marks an embarrassing security breach

    The escape marks an embarrassing security breach just ahead of the Jewish New Year when Israelis flock to the north to enjoy beaches, campsites, and the Sea of Galilee. The prisoners appear to have gone into hiding and there was no indication that Israeli authorities view them as an immediate threat.

    President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party praised the escape

    Palestinians consider prisoners held by Israel to be heroes of their national cause, and many celebrated the escape on social media. Efforts to capture the escapees will likely draw attention to the Palestinian Authority's security coordination with Israel, which is deeply unpopular among Palestinians. There was no immediate comment from the PA, but President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party praised the escape.

    Photo released by prison service showed narrow hole in floor

    A photo released by the prison service showed a narrow hole in the floor of a cell, and Israeli security forces could be seen examining a similar hole on a stretch of gravel just outside the walls of the prison.
