Israel expands Gaza fishing zone after 4 days of curbs due to arson balloons
2021-07-30
[IsraelTimes] Israel announced on Thursday it would expand 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...
fishing zone after restricting it for four days in response to the launching of incendiary balloons into Israel from the coastal enclave.

"Following a security assessment and with approval from the political echelon, it was decided to expand the Gaza Strip fishing zone from six to 12 nautical miles, starting Monday morning," the army’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories said in a statement.

COGAT also said that on Sunday, it would start again allowing the entry into Gaza of food, water, medicine, fishing goods, electrical supplies and agricultural products donated by the international community as part of the reconstruction effort for the Strip.

Israeli authorities will also allow the export of scrap metal from Gaza to Israel, COGAT said.

Paleostinians living in the Gaza Strip will be allowed to travel abroad via the Allenby crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, subject to the approved criteria, COGAT announced, adding that it would also allow 29 private vehicles that have been stranded at the Erez pedestrian crossing since the May war between Israel and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, into the strip.

"The civilian measures approved by the political echelon are conditional on the continued maintenance of security stability in the region," COGAT said.

Israel has in the past used fishing zone restrictions as a punitive measure against Gaza following attacks or border riots, though critics say the policy is a form of collective punishment borne mostly by people unconnected to the border tensions.

Hamas has warned of a return to fighting should Israel seek to again tighten restrictions on the blockaded Gaza Strip. The coastal enclave has seen tighter controls than usual since the May conflict between Israel and Hamas.

i funds into the Gaza Strip by the end of this week, sources in the terror group told a Lebanese newspaper on Thursday.

The source told the Al Akhbar newspaper that if there are no changes to the current situation regarding the entry of money and goods to the enclave, it may push some Gaza terror factions to launch rockets at southern Israel.

In June, a similar threat was conveyed via the Lebanese paper, which apparently resulted in the resumption of incendiary balloon attacks.

With Israel’s approval, Qatar has in recent years distributed hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to enable Gaza’s Hamas rulers to pay for fuel for the Strip’s power plant, pay civil servants’ salaries, and provide aid to tens of thousands of impoverished families.

An official familiar with the negotiations told The Times of Israel this month that Israel had notified Egyptian mediators that it will no longer allow the entrance of unmonitored Qatari cash into the Strip, as had previously been done.
