Gaza’s airborne firebombs are getting smarter, and reaching farther
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHadashot television news reports that the fires sparked by Gazans in southern Israel today are reaching farther into Israel because the Gazans have changed their tactics.
In recent weeks, Gazans have launched firebomb-carrying kites into Israel, where they fell into dry fields and sparked major brushfires.
Today, authorities are battling helium balloons carrying long-burning materials like charcoal. The balloons are capable of flying several kilometers into Israel and sparking fires farther afield.
Firefighters are battling at least four brushfires today sparked by Gazan arsonists.
