Despite the identification: Commanders prevent the firing of balloon launchers from Gaza

Observational observers in the Gaza Division said that in recent months the commanders have prevented the forces in the field from firing or applying various means of attack at balloon-inflicted squads, despite the fact that this is in real time. The observant says the vertebrae from the border can sometimes be seen, and often the detection is done by advanced sensors or aircraft operating in space. In some cases, the vertebrae are detected in an open area while they are being prepared for the task. The information goes through the pipes accepted by the senior command of the Southern Command, which authorizes any incident that requires firing unless it is an immediate life-threatening event.

Observational testimony is joined by allegations by Kfir Brigade fighters operating along the border. Two fighters said that at least two cases were identified for preparations to inflict terrorist balloons by Palestinian activists, but in these cases permission was not given to attack them and the balloons were fired at the territory of the State of Israel. The fighters noted that in several cases they noticed how the suspected balloons went from the Palestinian side to the Israeli side without the IDF taking care of it.

In recent weeks, the defense establishment has criticized the fact that the political echelon and the IDF "fell in love" with the regularization process, despite Hamas's breaches in the form of terrorist balloons and rocket and mortar shells. The regulation and until it shows no progress it will continue the trend.

Thus, during the day, Hamas terrorist squads fired bombs at Israel, while last night one mortar bomb was dropped in Israeli territory. Until this writing, the IDF did not respond to the launch through an attack. The nature of the attacks is also criticized, as some claim that the damage to Hamas positions along the border built with iron beams and tin pieces does not really excite the Hamas leadership as long as the organization's activists are not harmed.

Last week, Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi commented on the explosion of the balloons, saying that this type of terror, such as throwing stones throughout Judea and Samaria, is not acceptable to the IDF. Things look different on the ground and the IDF hopes that the attacks against Hamas and the sanctions on the Gaza Strip will exert pressure, although in practice there is no change.

The IDF spokesman said that "the IDF is conducting time-scale assessments, and is acting in accordance with the directive and according to the fire operation policy, which is determined by varying parameters."
