Kite arson materials turn up around Jerusalem
This week, Palestinians continued a wave of arson terror that has destroyed thousands of acres of farmland and nature preserves, causing millions of dollars of damage.This time was lucky. But if serious measures aren't taken even around Jerusalem, there could be a very awful case of fire next time.
Unlike most of these incidents, which have occurred in rural areas, an attempted arson attack on Friday occurred in Jerusalem’s densely populated Gilo neighborhood.
Specifically, two incendiary balloons landed in the courtyard of a private home. The balloons were carrying several matches and fabric soaked in flammable material, reported Arutz 7.
Israeli police launched an investigation to determine whether the balloons were released by residents of Beit Jala, a Jerusalem-area Arab town.
No damage was caused by the fire balloons, which police sappers disposed of.
