Israel has launched an aerial attack on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.  Footage shared by Palestinian news outlets showed the night sky alight  with flame as the Israeli jets pounded targets in the densely populated  strip.

The bombing  took place shortly before midnight on Monday local time. The  Palestinian Quds News Network claimed that Israeli jets and drones circled overhead before launching airstrikes on the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Enormous explosions were captured on video, with the Israeli bombs sending columns of smoke and fire into the night sky. Israel's military has claimed that it struck a "Hamas rocket manufacturing site and military compound" in retaliation for "arson balloons" launched from Gaza...

The Israeli Defense Forces respond to deadly "arson balloons" filled with helium, with F-35 jets armed with precision bombs.

The strikes come several hours after local authorities in the Sha'ar  Hanegev Regional Council reported that incendiary balloons launched from  the direction of Gaza sparked several fires in the area. The fires were  promptly extinguished and have not resulted into any major damage.  The bombing also took place shortly after six Palestinian militants escaped  from a high-security prison in northern Israel by tunneling from their  cells into the facility's drainage system. The escape sparked a massive  manhunt by the Israeli police and military.
