It started with kites with burning rags or embers attached to them.
Three months later, booby-trapped balloons and condoms began to be carried east toward the South, carried by winds coming off the Mediterranean Sea.
While the use of kites – a popular Middle Eastern pastime – seems to have disappeared, scores of balloons and condoms with explosive devices attached to them continue to land in schoolyards, agricultural fields and highways. Israel’s defense establishment does not use the word “condoms.” It’s not the most politically correct word. Instead, it refers to all the aerial IEDs, including condoms, as “balloons.”
Though condoms or balloons bearing messages of “Happy Birthday” or “I ❤️ You” flying through the air may sound silly, the hard truth is that these primitive devices have wreaked havoc, burning thousands of hectares of land and causing millions of shekels of damage.

I heard today that some in the west bank are strapping IEDs to cheap drones and trying to drop them on targets inside Israel. The one I heard about crashed due to weight (cheap retail drone).
The latest batch was paid for with a rubber check.
The article is from five years ago. I’d like to know how it is that until this order, the state department was still sending items to the terrorists - that the state department knew was being used for terrorism.
And now I understand why the Bidenites were sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza.
This must be why the Biden crime syndicate was spending 57 million dollars to send condoms there.
Great post.
The new phrase to troll the liberals is #CondomsForGaza
$50 million in condoms.
Lauren AliKahn and Chuck Schumer are in bed with Big condom. It is a sweetheart deal.
“This must be why the Biden crime syndicate was spending 57 million dollars to send condoms there.”
When I heard this on the WH brief today, I thought she said condos and I’m thinking that’s crazy and would not of worked.
But $57 million dollars for condoms? That is insane. How many C-5 shipments would it have taken, where would they have landed and how long would have been the truck convoy to deliver the goods?
Maybe the USA insane days are starting to end. Hope so.
Yes. Stuff like this provides graft and slush funds.
