Police chief: Fire kites and balloons are ‘terrorism’

Israel Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh tours areas surrounding the Gaza border that have been targeted by airborne incendiary attacks in recent weeks, saying such attack are “terrorism.”

“On one hand,” he says, “the damage has been significant, but we are glad that so far there have been no casualties.

“There’s a hair’s breadth between miracle and disaster,” he continues, noting that as soon as an incendiary device lands it becomes the responsibility of police, who have often been called in to ensure that such devices aren’t outfitted with bombs.
