Hamas terrorists continued attacks Friday with launches of arson kites and incendiary balloons attached to Molotov cocktails over the border at Israel.
At least a dozen fires were started in the area surrounding Jewish communities along the Gaza border from the morning hours until the start of the holy Sabbath, all of them ignited by Hamas arson attacks.
The response by Israeli farmers to the attacks was additionally hampered due to security orders by IDF Home Front Command that barred them from working in their fields at least until after the noon hour.
The arson attacks were launched despite an alleged ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel — much ballyhooed in the Arab media — that had supposedly gone into effect at midnight on Thursday night.
