(Worthy News) – At least 28 bush fires were started in the south of Israel Sunday, with authorities blaming incendiary balloons launched from the Gaza Strip following exchanges of fire between the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas over the weekend.
On Sunday night some 200 Palestinians rioted along the Gaza border, burning tires and setting off explosives, the IDF said.
It was the second night in a row that so-called “nightly confusion units” operated along the Gaza security fence, in a clear uptick in the level of violence and conflict between Israel and terror groups in the Strip. On Saturday night, roughly 800 people participated in the riots. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
