The Hamas terror balloons

Deborah Danan has news about the fuel-laced balloons the Hamas is using to set fire to Israeli farm crop fields, a disgusting sequel to their kites:

Whatever will they come up with next? Gazan rioters have added a creative new weapon to their arsenal. Instead of attack kites, young Palestinians have adopted another child’s toy to spread fires on Israeli soil: helium balloons.

The idea is much the same as the terror kites. Load the balloons with burning petrol and fly them over the border with Israel in hope that the breeze will help them along the way to starting a fire that will destroy acres of farmland, forestry, nature reserves and, with any luck, human lives situated around the border area.

[...] So far no one has been harmed as a result of the fires but they have racked up millions of shekels in damages to local farmers with more than 3,000 acres of wheat destroyed. Farmers from the Gaza border communities made the decision to move up the harvest date to avoid more damage to the wheat caused by the kites.

New blazes happen every day.

There are drones being launched to stop these baloons/kites. But this is still a reason why the army will have to raid Gaza as soon as possible to put a stop to it before real disaster occurs.
