When I was a little child, I was fascinated by kites. Seeing the kites dancing with the wind with colorful structures in the blue sky was magical. I remember running in all directions on the sand trying to fly my kite like a butterfly, a bird, a happy heart. Like all the children of the world I played with kites on beaches.
Kites are normally children’s toys. Except in Gaza, where the population uses the kite as a weapon of terror against the Israeli civilian population.
For more than three months, hundreds of terror kites and incendiary balloons have been launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel, causing considerable fires and threatening the civilian population in southern Israel (where I live).
Reports indicate that thousands of dunams of crops and plants have been destroyed because of this form of terrorism: agricultural terror.
Since the beginning of Palestinian violence and attempts of incursions into Israeli territory, the damage to flora, crops and wildlife has been considerable, with estimates that losses amount to several millions dollars.
According to a JNS report, “officials of the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority have estimated that at least a third of the Carmia Nature Reserve has been destroyed, with significant damage to local plants and wildlife”.
Because Israel has the advanced technologies needed to fight terror kites and incendiary balloons.
It would only take a few hours for the IDF to completely raze Gaza and put an end to this problem.
Except that this problem is not technological, but purely political.
Indeed, to combat these terrorist incursions into Israeli territory, the IDF uses barely 1% of its military power.
