Pro-Hamas activists launch incendiary balloons into Israel

Source: AP

Incendiary balloons launched from the Gaza Strip on Sunday caused at least three blazes in southern Israel, Israeli media reported, raising the possibility of renewed Israeli strikes on the Hamas-run territory.

Photos and video posted on social media showed Hamas-linked activists launching the balloons. On one of them was written the message: “Time is running out.”

The launches came two months after an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas. The Islamic militant group is upset that Israel has done little to ease a crippling blockade on the territory since the fighting ended, and over delays in indirect negotiations with Israel to resume Qatari financial aid to Gaza.

Israeli media reported at least three fires set in southern Israel, breaking a three-week lull in the launches of the incendiary balloons.

Hamas wants to kill all Jews and destroy Israel, they still even broadcast this on their childrens' TV and radio programming.

They just want publicity. Just like Abbas; he starts shit when its time for an election, then suspends the election because of the "emergency". He's in his 15th year of a 4 yr term i think
