For the first time in decades, Israeli Air Force planes dropped leaflets over Gaza City on Sunday, calling on the Palestinian population not to help terrorists.

“This is the first time we’re doing this in Gaza,” a military source told Maariv Online. “The Palestinian children read the leaflets out to the adults, who do not always know how to read and write. It is a very effective method.”

The flyers state that helping terrorists does not pay. They also consisted of the names of two wanted men, in the hope that Gaza residents would identify them and refuse to cooperate with them.

This is not the first time that the Israel Defense Forces use leaflets in the campaign against terror. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, terrorists infiltrated Israel via the Jordanian border. IDF helicopters flew over Jordanian territory and dropped leaflets calling on the residents not to help terrorists or give them shelter in their homes.

Recently, Gaza Strip residents have been fighting against terror. In Rafah, a clash erupted between the clans operating the underground tunnels to smuggle weapons and the clans objecting to this. The opposing groups wanted to stop using the tunnels, realizing that as soon as the IDF finds out about it, Israel would launch military operations that would disrupt life in the town.

They need a good campaign for peace. Slogans and pictures on tv and billboards, greiving the dead and praising the advances that peace can bring.
