Israel hits Hamas targets in Gaza after over 60 fires sparked by arson balloons

[IsraelTimes] Helicopter gunships and tanks strike targets after Gantz threatens ’forceful’ response, warns Israel could follow up closure of border crossing with harsher measures.
Israeli helicopter gunships and tanks attacked at least three sites 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 early Wednesday in response to rash of airborne arson attacks sparked more than 60 fires in Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The IDF said its forces targeted "a military base, underground infrastructure and observation posts belonging to the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror group."
The Hamas-linked al-Resalah news said Israeli aircraft fired several missiles at "agricultural land" east of Rafah in southern Gaza, and two Hamas observation posts in central Gaza were shelled.
There was no immediate reports of casualties.
The IDF said the strikes were in response to the arson attacks over the last week and noted that Israel holds Hamas responsible for all violence emanating from the territory.
The strikes came hours after Israeli leaders threatened Gaza’s Hamas rulers that Israel would take "forceful" action if the airborne arson attacks were not brought under control.
Balloon-borne incendiary devices launched from the Gaza Strip sparked at least 60 fires in southern Israel throughout the day, according to firefighters. Officials said most were small fires, but some caused damage.
Tensions on the Gaza border have intensified in recent days, with balloon-borne incendiary devices igniting a number of fires across southern Israel. The Hamas terror group, which rules the Strip, has also threatened to renew rocket fire and there have been a number of small fire exchanges. No injuries have been reported.
"In the south, Hamas is allowing the continued launching arson and explosive-carrying balloons into Israel," Defense Minister Benny Gantz said during a tour of a Home Front command center. "We are not prepared to accept that and we closed the Kerem Shalom crossing as a result. They would do well to stop disturbing the security and quiet in Israel. If that doesn’t happen, we will need to respond, and forcefully."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also took a threatening tone as he toured the Hazor air force base in the center of the country, accusing Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
of being behind the Gaza balloon attacks.
"I want to say to all of Iran’s forces, including in Gaza, there will be a very heavy price for the balloon terror," Netanyahu said. "We will not suffer this, we will act and exact a heavy price. We have done it in the past and we will do it now."
The comment appeared to be a reference to the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group. While Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks emanating from the Strip, it has also increasingly targeted Islamic Jihad over the last year.
Authorities said they were battling a large blaze in the Eshkol region, near the Gaza border, forcing the evacuation of a number of Bedouin families living in the area.
A number of smaller fires were also reported in the area Tuesday morning, and Monday saw over a dozen blazes ignited by suspected Gazook balloons, as well as reports of possible balloon-borne bombs exploding over the city of Sderot.
In response to the fires, Israel announced Monday it was shutting the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing into Gaza, halting all goods but fuel, humanitarian products and food.
On Tuesday Hamas called the closure of the commercial crossing an aggressive action and a crime for which the Jewish state "bears all consequences and repercussions."
Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoun said the "use of tools and forms of struggle to express a state of anger" is a natural result of Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The practice of launching balloon-borne incendiary and bombs from the Gaza Strip toward Israel has waxed and waned over the past two years, with an uptick since the end of last week.
Also on Tuesday evening, the IDF issued a denial of Paleostinian media reports that claimed Israeli soldiers fired toward a group of young Paleostinian men in al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Hamas-linked Safa News published undated footage of the incident, showing the balloon launchers crouching on the ground as gunshots could be heard in the background.
The Kan public broadcaster later aired footage of a laser system to intercept the balloons that was deployed near the Gaza border. It was unclear whether the system would be immediately operational.
