Israel downs suspicious object flying near Dead Sea
2010-12-17
[Ma'an] Israeli aircraft shot down an unidentified object Thursday evening near the Dead Sea, security sources said.

A military spokeswoman told Ma'an that the army was investigating its origin. It might have been a balloon, she added.

An Israeli security official said the apparently unmanned balloon flew over the Dimona nuclear reactor. "It definitely flew over Dimona, although we are still trying to determine what that entailed and the military is now handling the matter," the official told Rooters.

The airspace surrounding the secret nuclear site is considered a restricted zone.

#2  Hamas and friends could be trying the same trick that the Japanese did with balloons over the N Pacific in WW2, carrying incendiaries and trying to set forest fires.

In this case it could be explosives, or it could be anything in an attempt to tie up IDF resources. Swarms of balloons have to be investigated.
