Israel hit Gaza with airstrikes on Sunday after incendiary balloons launched from the Palestinian enclave caused fires in the Jewish state. There were no injuries reported on either side.
The Israeli strikes targeted an open area in northern Gaza and a militant training site belonging to Hamas rulers in southern Khan Yunis, according to Palestinian security sources.
The strikes came after Israel cut by half the fishing zone off the blockaded coastal territory. That's a common response following projectile attacks by armed groups in Gaza.
Israel's army had no immediate comment on the airstrikes. But the military branch responsible for civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, known as COGAT, said the fishing zone had been reduced from 12 nautical miles to six.
Earlier Sunday, Israeli firefighters said they extinguished brush blazes at three spots in the Eshkol region near the border, blaming "incendiary balloons" as the cause.
On July 12th, Israel announced it was re-expanding the fishing zone off Gaza and allowing additional imports into the Palestinian territory, but at that time it warned the measure could be reversed in response to fresh unrest.
Ethiopia's Amhara state on Sunday called on "all young people" to take up arms against Tigrayan fighters who are battling the Ethiopian military and forces from all of Ethiopia's other nine regions.
The call for mass mobilization against Tigray People's Liberation Front, or TPLF, fighters expands the eight-month-old war and instability in the Horn of Africa country.
Amhara's military says TPLF fighters are now attacking the state. Calls to the TPLF spokesman for comment were not answered.
The TPLF rules Ethiopia's northernmost region where war with the Ethiopian military erupted in November. Three weeks later, the government declared victory when it captured Tigray's capital Mekelle but (the) TPLF kept fighting. At the end of June, the TPLF seized control of Mekelle and most of Tigray after government soldiers withdrew.
This week, the Tigrayans pushed their offensive to Afar, the neighboring state, to the east where they said they planned to target troops from the Amhara region fighting alongside the federal military in the area.
Thousands of people have died in the fighting and around two million have been displaced.

参考翻译
周日，以色列对加沙发动空袭，此前从巴勒斯坦飞地发射的燃烧弹在这个犹太国家引发火灾。目前双方都没有人员伤亡的报道。
据巴勒斯坦安全部门消息，以色列袭击的目标是加沙北部的一个开阔地区，以及汗尤尼斯南部属于哈马斯统治者的一个武装训练基地。
这次袭击发生之前，以色列将被封锁的沿海地区的捕鱼区削减了一半。这是加沙武装组织发动炮弹袭击后的常见反应。
以色列军方没有立即对空袭发表评论。但负责巴勒斯坦领土民政事务的军事部门COGAT表示，捕鱼区已从12海里减少到6海里。
星期天早些时候，以色列消防队员说，他们扑灭了边境附近埃什科尔地区三个地点的丛林大火，并指责“燃烧弹”是罪魁祸首。
7月12日，以色列宣布将重新扩大加沙附近的捕鱼区，并允许更多的进口货物进入巴勒斯坦领土，但当时以色列警告称，由于新的动荡局势，该措施可能会被撤销。
埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉州周日呼吁“所有年轻人”拿起武器对抗提格雷武装分子。提格雷武装分子正在与埃塞俄比亚军队和埃塞俄比亚其他九个地区的军队作战。
针对提格雷人民解放阵线（TPLF）武装分子的大规模动员的呼吁扩大了这个非洲之角国家长达八个月的战争和不稳定局势。
阿姆哈拉的军方表示，TPLF武装分子正在袭击该邦。记者致电TPLF发言人请求置评，但无人接听。
TPLF统治着埃塞俄比亚最北部地区，去年11月，该地区与埃塞俄比亚军队爆发了战争。三周后，政府占领了提格雷的首府默克莱，宣布胜利，但TPLF仍在战斗。6月底，在政府军撤出后，TPLF控制了默克莱和提格雷的大部分地区。
本周，提格雷人将攻势推进到邻近的东部阿法尔州，他们表示，计划将目标对准在该地区与联邦军队并肩作战的阿姆哈拉地区的军队。
数千人在战斗中丧生，约200万人流离失所。
