 [Jpost] The IDF stated that the attack comes in response to the number of incendiary balloons sent from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

not only on Friday, but throughout the week.
IDF tanks and fighter jets attacked a number of targets belonging to the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip on Friday, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. The attack came in response to incendiary balloons sent from Gaza and landing in Israeli territory, causing some 21 fires to break out on Friday alone, following a pattern of attacks that have been occurring all week.
Paleostinian sources report that the Friday attack occurred east of the al-Bureij refugee camp located in the center of the Gaza Strip.
During the attack, a naval force compound, underground infrastructure and observation posts belonging to Hamas were struck, according to the IDF's Spokesperson's Unit.
The IDF stated that the attack came in response to the number of incendiary balloons sent from Gaza not only on Friday, but throughout the week, adding that "all terrorist activity against Israel" is taken very seriously, and that the IDF "will do whatever is necessary to act in response to attempts to harm the citizens of Israel."
Earlier on Friday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi made a similar comment following a number of fires having already broken out. He told the Gaza border community that incendiary and explosive balloon launches will end in the following days, Walla! reported.
The IDF has been acting in response to incendiary balloon attacks for days, the most recent of which, prior to Friday's attack, occurred in between Thursday night and Friday morning, wherein IDF fighter jets and helicopters struck Hamas air defense, underground infrastructure, and observation posts.
The incendiary balloons caused some 27 fires to break out in the Gaza envelope on Thursday, and at least 120 had been reported throughout the week. Thursday's incendiary balloon attacks came despite the Defense Ministry's Thursday morning efforts to try and quell the attacks by halting the transfer of fuel into the Gaza Strip.
Israel launched Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s against Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, targets in the Gazoo Strip for the fourth night in a row late Friday in response to a spate of attacks using balloon-borne arson and bombs sent from the Strip into Israel in recent days.
The overnight attack on sites used by Hamas, the Islamist terror group that rules the enclave, was the fifth such operation since the start of the week.
The Haaretz daily reported Friday that Israel communicated that it won’t allow the transfer of a monthly sum of $30 million from Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
to Gaza unless the spate of incendiary balloon attacks stops.
The report, which did not cite a source, added that the Qatari envoy himself is "not thrilled" to go to the Strip until the escalation is over.
Paleostinian analysts say attacks from Gaza often aim to pressure Israel to give the green light for the transfer of the Qatari financial aid into the Strip.
In response to the attacks, Israel has already closed its cargo crossing with the Strip, with exceptions made for food and humanitarian aid , and also reduced the territory’s permitted coastal fishing zone.
The practice of launching balloon-borne incendiary and bombs from the Gaza Strip toward Israel has waxed and waned over the past two years, with an uptick since the end of last week.
