In an interview on Radio Darom, Minister of Internal Security Gilad Erdan (Likud) said the IDF has received new open fire instructions, and Gazans flying Molotov kites will be treated as terrorists in every way, and the IDF is permitted to eliminate the kite flyers, including by drone-based targeted assassination.
Hundred of acres of Israeli farmland and forest have been burned down in the past few weeks by the Gazans.
Israeli Farmers along the Gaza border have decided to harvest their wheat early this year, due to fear that their fields will be burned down by the Gaza terrorists, if they wait to harvest them at the proper time.
