Armed with tires & mirrors, Palestinians renew Gaza border protests
2018-04-04
[Ynet] Gazoo residents begin amassing mirrors, tires in preparation of next border protest to counter Israel's snipers in light of Friday's festivities, during which 17 protesters were rubbed out.

Due to the IDF's use of snipers during Friday's March of Return riots along the Gazoo security fence, protesters are resorting to the use of mirrors to blind IDF soldiers and to burning tires to create thick smoke to obscure them from sight.
Israel has drones as well as spotters. Will the tire smoke be equally effective for both?
Several thousand Paleostinians remain in tent camps along the Gazoo border, continuing their protest for what they describe as a right of return for refugees and their descendants to what is now Israel.

#7  Nothing says peaceful protest more than burning tires. Winnie is looking up from hell and smiling.

#6  Illuminate from above with near-IR at a high angle and observe from ground.

How much IR is emitted from a low yield air burst, say 10kt? (I'm asking for a friend)

#5  Actually, it's too bad nobody makes imagers with the ability to have modulated pixels so you could filter images based on multiple modulated light sources. (sort of each pixel being smart and having fast fourier analysis ability)

#4  I could suggest better means but no idea if they are restricted.

#3  near-IR gets through smoke fairly well. Illuminate from above with near-IR at a high angle and observe from ground.
