Gaza – The Hamas terror organization may cease sending incendiary kites and balloons into Israeli territory, the Palestinian Al Quds newspaper reported Wednesday.

Over the past several months, thousands of acres of Israeli farmland and nature reserves have been torched by incendiary devices sent over the border. According to sources quoted by Al-Quds, Hamas is attempting to tamp down on rising tensions that it believes could lead to war with Israel.
Over the weekend, Israeli forces struck a number of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip and Hamas forces launched hundreds of rockets and mortars at communities bordering the coastal territory. In what was likely interpreted as a warning by Hamas, Israeli forces recently held war games in which they practiced an assault on Gaza City.
Despite Hamas’ orders, it is unsure if those involved in launching the kites will stop their activities. According to Israel’s Ynet news site, a group calling itself the “incendiary balloons and kites unit” has issued a statement refuting the Al Quds report.
“We receive orders from no one and our peaceful resistance will continue until our demands are met and the siege over Gaza is lifted,” the group said. “The worse the siege becomes, the bigger the amount of fires, and they will reach greater distances.”
A source in Gaza who spoke with Ynet said that Hamas cannot immediately stop the attacks because “it would be seen as capitulation, and therefore it must be done gradually.”
Cease fires and agreements have zero value to these subhuman savages. Despite their “assurances” and media reports, they will not stop their terror. They might vary their tactics, but they will never stop. That is why playing defense will not help Israel much. The only thing that might is to inflict major damage to Hamas. The ideas include the elimination of Hamas leaders, the destruction of infrastructure, and reclaiming the land. There is no one among the Muslim communities anywhere in the world that can be trusted, and the other Arab countries that will provide guarantees that terror will stop are irrelevant. These animals only stop when they are damaged to the point of being disabled. The only good terrorist is a dead one.
