IDF strikes Hamas posts in Gaza Friday after incendiary balloons spark brushfires in south
2023-09-23
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinians also riot along southern frontier for sixth day in row, setting off explosives on Israeli border barrier; 26 said maimed

The Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip on Friday, after balloon-borne incendiary devices flown over the border by Paleostinian bandidos bandidos krazed killers sparked three fires in southern Israel, as tensions in the region heated up.
Of course they did. It’s the next step in their program.
The arson attacks came as Paleostinians have been holding near-daily riots on the Gaza border in recent weeks.

Firefighters from Fire and Rescue Services and the Jewish National Fund battled the blazes in the Eshkol Regional Council. The Fire and Rescue Services said Friday evening that all three fires were extinguished.

The fires mark the first blazes caused by incendiary balloons in two years.

Paleostinians again rioted on the Gaza border on Friday afternoon, for the sixth day in a row. There have been several other riots in recent weeks.
*Yawn* D’you suppose Qatar is impressed enough to give them a cost of living increase in donations, dear Reader?
The IDF said it had carried out dronezaps against two observation posts belonging to the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror group in the Gaza Strip in response to the incendiary balloons and rioting. The military said the incendiary balloons were launched from the area of the two posts.
I vote for spraying the rioters with skunk water — that’ll distract them nicely for a while. But only when the wind is blowing toward the sea.
A third Hamas post was shelled by a tank after a Paleostinian gunman shot up troops on the border amid the rioting, the IDF added. That post was located near where the gunman opened fire, the military said.

Footage from the rioting showed a gunman opening fire and an bomb being detonated on the Israeli border barrier, causing damage to the fence.

The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip reported that 26 were maimed by Israeli fire amid the rioting.

During the riots in recent weeks, Paleostinians have been detonating bombs, setting tires on fire, trying to breach the security barrier, and opening fire at troops in a handful of cases.

The Israeli military has been responding with crowd dispersal means and live fire in some cases.

On Thursday, a Paleostinian gunman who shot up Israeli forces during rioting on the border was shot and seriously maimed by a Border Police sniper.
Prob a little harsh for BLM/Green/Trans/Book/Climate protests
Israel has kept shut its sole pedestrian crossing with the Gaza Strip since September 15 in response to rioting on the border.

The closure of Erez Crossing affects 17,000 Gazooks who have permits to enter Israel for work. The Strip’s economy is harmed by the laborers being barred entry to Israel.

The rioting in recent weeks has left at least seven Paleostinians dead, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip. Six of them were killed while mishandling a makeshift bomb that was supposed to be planted on the border, while the seventh was shot by Israeli soldiers.

No IDF soldiers have been maimed in the recent riots so far.
A previous Times of Israel article on the Gaza riots adds:
COGAT announced Thursday morning that the crossing would continue to remain closed, following an assessment of the situation by security officials and instructions by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.

The crossing will likely remain closed until Tuesday morning at the earliest, after Yom Kippur, which begins Sunday night. All other crossings, including Ben Gurion Airport, will be closed during Yom Kippur.

The Erez Crossing is always closed on Saturdays, with limited access on Fridays. Gazooks cannot leave via the crossing on Fridays, but are able to reenter the Gazoo Strip during the morning hours.

Israeli officials say the crossing will remain closed as long as the riots continue.

Explosive devices detonated on the border have not caused any significant damage to the security barrier, as the riots have taken place along Israel’s older fence, rather than near the upgraded security barrier, which was built several meters into Israeli territory.

According to IDF assessments, there was a low chance that the current riots would return to the form of the 2018 and 2019 border protests, but there was still a risk of an escalation.

Gazoo has been blockaded by both Israel and Egypt for over 15 years in an attempt to contain the enclave’s Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", rulers. Israel says the tight restrictions on goods and people are necessary due to the terror group’s efforts to massively arm itself for attacks against the Jewish state.

Critics lament the blockade’s impact on ordinary Gazooks, around 50 percent of whom are unemployed, according to the Paleostinian Central Bureau of Statistics. The sky-high poverty rates make employment in Israel a highly attractive option for those lucky enough to receive permits.

In Gaza, Paleostinian workers can expect an average daily wage of about NIS 60 ($17.35). The few allowed to cross into Israel to work might get as much as NIS 400 ($115.66) per day, according to a report last year by The Times of Israel’s sister site Zman Yisrael.

#2  IDF, Lebanese army clash at Israel's northern border

Clashes broke out Saturday afternoon between the IDF and the Lebanese army near the Israel-Lebanon border after a heavy-duty vehicle illegally crossed into Israel, as per local reports.

Armed forces fired "protest dispersion" tools such as stun grenades at a tractor that crossed from the Lebanese border into Israel in the Mount Dov area after surveillance identified the vehicle.
