| Israel reels in Gaza fishing zone as arson balloons scorch south |
| 2019-06-12 |
| [IsraelTimes] Israel announced Tuesday it will further scale back the Gazoo fishing zone from 10 nautical miles to six, in response to a number of arson attacks from the coastal enclave throughout the day. "In light of the fires and the launching of incendiary balloons toward Israeli territory, this evening the permitted fishing zone for the Gazoo Strip has been reduced to six nautical miles until further notice," Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians said in a statement. Over the course of Tuesday, there were seven fires in southern Israel sparked by balloon-borne incendiary devices from the Gazoo Strip, according to the local fire department. The permitted fishing zone had been extended to 15 nautical miles last Tuesday, apparently as part of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and terror groups in the Strip. A day later, in response to incendiary attacks, Israel restricted the fishing zone to 10 nautical miles, where it had remained. For the past several months, Israel has been extending and reducing the permitted fishing zone around the Gazoo Strip as fewer or more incendiary balloons have been sent over the border. Such arson attacks appear to violate the reported terms of an unofficial truce between Israel and terror groups in the Strip. |
