(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Israeli media report that Palestinians planned to launch 5,000 incendiary balloons and kites toward Israel from Gaza to mark the Eid al-Fitr holiday at the end of Ramadan. On Tuesday, Israel announced it was limiting the entrance of helium into Gaza. "The entrance of helium gas into Gaza will be limited in light of its use by terrorists to fill incendiary balloons," said the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) Maj.-Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon. Helium balloons, which can fly further than kites, can carry explosive devices such as pipe bombs that are set off by cellphones once they approach troops. Last Friday, one of dozens of these devices exploded in the air above troops, causing no injuries. "These are terror attacks, with IEDs," IDF Intelligence Directorate head Maj.-Gen. Tamir Heyman told the International Homeland Security Forum in Jerusalem on Wednesday.2018-06-15 00:00:00Full Article
