Despite recent reports that Hamas intends to end its cross-border arson attacks, the terrorist group ruling the Gaza Strip vows to continue launching the incendiary devices over the border into Israeli territory.

“We won’t stop with the kites or balloons until the blockade is lifted,” a masked fighter says in a video released earlier today.

Channel 10 reports that hundreds of devices were flown over the border throughout the day, sparking at least 20 fires in southern Israel.

The flaming kites and balloons have wreaked havoc in the Israeli communities surrounding the Gaza Strip since the phenomenon began in April, sparking fires that have scorched thousands of acres and caused millions of shekels in damage.
