New Hamas terror tool, bomb-tagged helium balloons, set 7 big fires

Hamas has escalated its war of destruction against the farmers tilling their fields near the Gaza Strip from flaming kites to helium balloons with bottle bombs attached. In their first attacks Monday, they ignited large fires in the Shear Hanegev district torching 400 dunams of farmland. The wheat crops of Kibbutzim Nir Am, Mefalsim and Nahal Oz were practically wiped out. The IDF, alerted to the new threat, has still not come up with a remedy for the burning kites.

    Easy to shot, will deflate.
    But, boy, all these problems are because of such long a border line!
    Let’s make it 50% shorter as an experiment.

    Best cure is a first carpet bombing across Gaza, followed by a carpet bombing across, repeat for 3 times in total, and then check if more kite or balloons launchings or not.

    Do not let any food cross gaza during three months, until the hostage population get rid of this paleo-stinian unfitting regime.

      Pal-e-SWINIANS should EAT balloons and helium and dirt excavated from their tunnels.

    I have changed my mind on the idea to blast the terrorists with indelible ink – make it a permanent ink that they will have to live with for many years to come if they are lucky enough to live that long – stupid people are prone to accidents and miscalculations leading to early mortality.

    Did anyone try the skeet shooting approach?
    What are you going to lose,
    Some bird shot?

      Great Idea. Make it an Olympic sport too.

      Get the NRA in on it too.

    Lo tech balloons can be shot down with lo tech bow & flaming arrows. Burn up the balloons and kites, let them drop to the ground.

    If they fall in gaza, let the attached bombs blow up, or light their side in fire.

    If the balions/kites cross the border into israel, shoot them as they cross in order to contain any damage. Any small fires can be put out here, instead of letting the balloons/kites travel further into the country.

    PS why isn’t there any mention of these incidents in any world press or tv?

    If they send 10 balloons over, you send 20 of your balloons to them.

    As a countermeasure to the kites and balloons, why not have IDF archers shoot flaming arrows into the Hamas tents, which have been moved closer to the border? This is an old method of retaliation proven effective during the Middle Ages. As for the burned crops, similar amounts of grain should be taken from Israeli aid to Gaza and provided to farmers to make up for crops destroyed by terrorists.
    If Gazans miss several grain shipments due to Hamas terrorism, they will know whom to blame if they go hungry for a few weeks.

    Such childish imbeciles – all they do is destroy and shit in their own nest. Looks like the farmers will have to come up with a simple solution themselves. Until something is worked out – cut off their fkn electricity.
