The Hamas terror group on Saturday launched over a dozen of incendiary balloons into Israel.

Photos and videos posted online showed masked Hamas-affiliated operatives holding pictures of Gazans killed in recent clashes with Israeli forces while they launched balloons in the direction of Israel.

Hamas has also staged a series of violent demonstrations along the Israeli border in recent weeks calling for an end to the blockade, which is also conducted by Gaza�s western neighbor, Egypt.

In an angry statement, a Hamas spokesman said Saturday that the Gazan people were determined to �break the siege� and no longer accepted the two countries� �gradual easing� of the blockade.

The spokesman added that �our people�s options are open and all tools and means are available to pressure the occupation and oblige it to lift the siege on our people.�
