Balloons fired from besieged Gaza spark 21 fires in Israeli locations

Thursday 12-July-2018

Several incendiary balloons flown from the Gaza Strip on Thursday caused fires in different locations in Israeli settlements near the border fence with the besieged Gaza Strip.

According to Maariv Hebrew newspaper balloons flown from Gaza have caused 21 fires in Israeli locations near the border since the morning.

The flaming kites have also led to the destruction of thousands of dunums of agricultural fields in Israeli settlements near Gaza.

Incendiary kites and balloons have been launched into Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the Great March of Return protests launched on March 30 at the Gaza border to call for Palestinians’ right of return to their motherland.
