In first, incendiary balloon lands in Be'er Sheva
2018-07-31
[Ynet] Sappers rush to street in Negev desert's largest city to remove balloon believed to have been flown from Gazoo, raising fears the daily fires may no longer be restricted to Gazoo border towns only.

An incendiary balloon, which police believe was launched from the Gazoo Strip, landed on Monday evening in Be’er Sheva, raising fears that murderous Moslems are increasing the range of the devices that have caused numerous fires in Israeli border communities.

Police sappers were called to the Ringelblum Street in the Negev desert’s largest city to remove the balloon.

Police forces also closed the road off to traffic and distanced passersby. The road was reopened shortly after.

Throughout the day, firefighters worked to extinguish fires that erupted in Israel Gazoo border communities as a result of incendiary balloons flown from the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-ruled coastal enclave.

In total, five fires were extinguished by the firefighters in the Eshkol Regional Council while another fire broke out in the Dorot Forest in the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council.

#3  This article has photos of this particular one, Bobby. Just click on the headline.

There are single and multiple balloons as well as the original kites, and payloads vary from smudge pots and molotov cocktails to explosives, though that last is rare thus far.
