Earlier on Saturday, the Jerusalem police arrested a 50-year-old Palestinian woman after she tried to stab police officers outside one of the gates of the Old City.

Later on Saturday, the IDF said an attack helicopter struck a Hamas target in the northern Gaza Strip in response to the launch of incendiary balloons into Israeli territory on Friday.

The balloons, carrying an explosive device, touched down in the southern Israeli city of Sderot and a bomb squad was dispatched to the area to neutralize the device.

The Israeli military said its airstrike targeted "infrastructure used for underground activities" by Gaza's ruling Hamas terrorist group. In Gaza, local reports said the airstrike hit an open area. There were no reports of injuries.
