| Kite from Gaza sets fire to wheat field in Israel |

| [IsraelTimes] For fifth time in as many days, Paleostinians send airborne Molotov cocktails across border A fire broke out in an Israeli wheat field outside the Gazoo Strip Wednesday, caused by a kite bearing a container of flaming liquid, for the fifth time in as many days, according to the local fire department. The kite touched down in a field near Kibbutz Be’eri, an Israeli community located some seven kilometers (4.3 miles) east of Gazoo’s Bureij refugee camp. Six teams of firefighters had contained the blaze and were working extinguish it, the fire department spokesperson said. For the past six days, Paleostinians in Gazoo have made attempts to fly kites carrying burning cans of fuel into Israeli territory. The first attempt on Friday failed and the kite landed inside Gazoo, but the rest have sparked fires in southern Israel. As this month also marks the beginning of Israel’s dry season, an IDF spokesperson on Friday said the military was prepared for the possibility that fires might break out and had therefore coordinated with local fire departments and put firefighting planes on standby. Last month, the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) organized a "Kites of Hope" festival for over 1,000 Gazook schoolchildren from Khan Younis. |

| #8 Only if there's something to burn on the other side. Some of the pale stains have been there 80 years and managed to build absolutely nothing. |

| #1 Common tactic. Also a learned war tactic if you ever saw Chinese New Year, or Japan in WWII with their balloon project. |
