Hamas threatens further escalation unless Israel meets its demands
As terrorists in the Gaza Strip send more and more explosives-laden balloons over the border fence, senior Hamas officials in Gaza have told Israel Hayom that the organization will continue to allow “violent provocations” unless Israel agrees to benefits for the residents of Gaza and promotes Qatari and UN employment initiatives for Gaza.
On Monday, Sderot residents heard three explosions that were reportedly caused by explosive devices attached to balloons that were floated over the city.
Another arson balloon caused a fire in a field near Route 34, near Kibbutz Erez. In a separate incident, a police sapper defused an explosive device that a balloon from Gaza had dropped on Moshav Nir Moshe.
