Mossad chief said to ask Qataris to keep sending money to Gaza

Mossad chief Yossi Cohen has spoken with officials in Qatar to ensure the Gulf emirate continues to send funds to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

The report comes amid a sharp rise in the launching of balloon-borne incendiary devices from Gaza toward Israel, which some have linked to delays in the transfer of the Qatari aid.
