Fearing more incendiary attacks, Israel confiscates balloon shipment to Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli border officials confiscate thousands of balloons found on a truck heading into Gaza at the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
Thousands of balloons attached to incendiary devices have been launched across the border, causing fires that have ravaged agricultural fields, forests and national park areas in Israel.
The cartons of balloons were discovered by border guards, who alerted the Land Border Crossings Authority officials on site. The officials classified the balloons as “dual-use,” meaning they could be taken by Hamas for use in incendiary attacks.
