On Wednesday, at least 24 fires were sparked by incendiary balloons in southern Israel in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council and in the Eshkol Regional Council.
On Tuesday, over 68 fires were sparked by incendiary and explosive balloons throughout the Gaza envelope, burning about 200 hectares of land. "We won't allow Israel to change the rules of the game; we will respond to every attack by it," said the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group on Wednesday. "Balloon launches are part of the national operations and this will continue in order to place pressure on Israel to carry out what was agreed upon concerning lightening the siege [on Gaza]."
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum warned on Wednesday that the terror group's silence concerning the blockade on the Gaza Strip "will not continue." The fishing zone off the coast of Gaza was reduced from 15 miles to eight miles on Wednesday evening in response to the continued launches.

So does Gaza manufacture helium or does it come in the UN food containers with explosives, arms, and ammo?

So-called palestinians are such malignant losers. They offer nothing to any civilization.

i assume they're run out of rockets or are afraid of counter-battery fire and are now reduced to using children's part balloons ... that's progress ... of sorts ...

Once we cut off their helium and latex supplies, I wonder what they will be reduced to. Standing behind the fence and farting in the general direction of Israel?

I guess they’ve gone back to the balloons because they’re plain out of rocket fuel.
