On Sunday, Tisha B’Av, Hamas terrorists launched 40 Balloon and Kite Bombs at Israel. Eight large fires were caused as a result of the incendiary devices landing inside Israel. The fires blazed near the towns of Yated, Nir Am, Sa’ad, Kisufim, Be’er Marveh, and Eshkol Park.

An IDF spokesperson told Israeli media that: “Although the number of bombs being sent into Israel is fewer than what we are used to, it is still very difficult to deal with and is a daily representation of serious acts of terror committed against our country.”

In response, the IAF force attacked a vehicle that was carrying Hamas terrorists who had been involved in launching balloons at Israel. According to reports from the Gaza strip, one terrorist was killed and another was moderately injured.

Earlier today, a terrorist squad was flying arson balloons from the northern Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. In response, an IDF aircraft fired towards the squad
