The tactic of launching balloons carrying explosive and arson devices from Gaza into Israel began in 2018 as part of a series of protests along the Strip’s border, known collectively as the March of Return. The simple and cheap method of attack by Palestinians has proved effective as Israeli security forces have struggled to counter the tactic but had largely stopped over half a year ago.
On Wednesday evening, police sappers were dispatched to the border town of Sedirot where a suspicious object, attached to a cluster of balloons, landed in a residential neighborhood.
It appeared to mark the renewal of the arson balloon attacks that torched thousands of acres of Israeli fields along the Gaza border in recent years.
That incident came after terrorists — reportedly belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group — also on Wednesday fired four mortar shells from Gaza toward southern Israel, causing neither injury nor damage, according to the army.
