A red alert was activated before 2:00 PM in an open area in the Erez Crossing area and in the Home Front Command app, following 'repelling fire' carried out by IDF forces. According to sources in the Gaza Strip, after the Palestinians tried to reach the balloon, IDF fighters fired at it in order to drive them away - which caused the alert to be activated.
