The balloon terror campaign has arrived in the central Israeli city of Ramle, while continuing unabated in southern Israel even as rockets were launched in the morning hours.

A balloon attached to a primed Molotov cocktail was found Wednesday in the industrial zone near the Nesharim interchange near the city.

Local police were called together with the bomb squad to neutralized the explosive, which clearly was not launched from Gaza, but rather from a source in the Palestinian Authority.

The incident marks the fourth incendiary balloon attack on Israel to take place on Wednesday.

Three Molotov cocktails were attached to different balloons and launched from Gaza towards Israel earlier in the day, with all three landing in various spots in the Eshkol Regional Council district.

One of the firebombs damaged a greenhouse in a Jewish community in the district, according to the Hebrew-language Walla! News website.

No physical injuries were reported.
