Sappers neutralize incendiary balloon found in settlement north of Jerusalem
|
[IsraelTimes] Device comes to ground in the courtyard of house in the West Bank settlement of Givat Ze’ev; no damage reported
Israel Police said sappers neutralized an incendiary device attached to a balloon that was discovered Monday in the courtyard of a home in the West Bank settlement of Givat Ze’ev, just north of Jerusalem.
An investigation into the incident has been opened, the force said in a statement.
Police sappers arrived at the scene and after checking the device, took it away for further examination.
There was no damage reported in the incident.
Givat Ze’ev is located about five kilometers north of the capital.
The tactic of sending airborne incendiary devices into Israeli territory has been used almost daily by Paleostinians in the Gazoo Strip since the start of weekly border protests there in March, but it is unlikely this balloon device was launched from the coastal enclave.
There have been a number of incidents in which West Bank Paleostinians appear to have copied the tactic, sending devices into Israeli settlements.
Last week a suspected incendiary balloon was discovered on a highway close to the Modiin industrial zone in the center of the country.
