| [IsraelTimes] IDF says strike targeted suspects in north of Paleostinian enclave; Israeli firefighters extinguish six blazes An Israeli aircraft fired at a cell in the northern Gazoo Strip launching incendiary balloons toward Israel, the Israeli military said on Saturday, revealing no further details. The Paleostinian news agency Shehab, affiliated with the terror group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, which rules Gazoo, said the IDF strike occurred near the city of Jabalia. There were no immediate reports of injuries. The Israeli military further reported that a number of festivities took place in different areas along the security fence between Israel and the Gazoo Strip, and that Israeli troops fired tear gas to disperse crowds gathering near the structure. Israel’s Channel 10 reported minor incidents alongside the security fence near Jabalia and Khan Younis. Over the course of Saturday, six fires were sparked as a result of arson balloons being launched across to communities near the Gazoo Strip, Channel 10 reported. Firefighters worked to extinguish the blazes, including one at the entrance to the town of Netivot. This week has seen an uptick in the launching of incendiary balloons, after several weeks of what was described as a lull. This followed several months of multiple daily attacks that left thousands of acres in southern Israel scorched and sparked fears of children being injured by bombs placed on balloons or kites and launched over the border. |
