  Gaza's 'incendiary kites unit' to escalate fires until siege lifted

July 18, 2018 - http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=780441
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- The "incendiary kites unit" of the Gaza Strip 
announced on Wednesday that the amount of incendiary kites and balloons 
targeting Israeli areas surrounding Gaza would increase as a response to 
the increased siege on the Gaza Strip.

The unit, calling themselves the "Sons of Zouari" in reference to 
Tunisian engineer assassinated by the Israeli Mossad, denied any reports 
published by Israeli Hebrew-language media, that the Hamas movement will 
stop the launch of more incendiary kites and explosive balloons or that 
the amount of launched kites would decrease within the next 72 hours.

The unit said in a statement that their peaceful resistance will 
continue until their demands are met and until the siege of the Gaza 
Strip is lifted.

The statement added that factions in the Gaza Strip would not stand 
between them and peaceful resistance.
The announcement came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 
decision to impose severe economic sanctions by closing Gaza Strip's 
main commercial crossing, Kerem Shalom, and limiting the Palestinian 
coastal enclave's fishing zone in response to the protests in form of 
incendiary balloons across the borders.

About 6,000 dunams (1482.6 acres) of agricultural produce as well as 
thousands of dunams of open fields were burned

caused by incendiary kites and balloons flown from inside the Gaza Strip 
into Israel.
