Israeli air force, tanks bombard Hamas targets in response to balloon terror..........
August 13 2020
“Fighter jets, attack helicopters and tanks hit a number of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip,” at dawn on Wednesday, August 12.
The IDF named the targets as “underground infrastructure and Hamas observation posts.” During the day, massed arson balloon clusters loosed from the Gaza Strip set off 60 fires across Israeli farms and woodland.
The military spokesman stressed that Israel “will not hold back on any action necessary for stemming assaults on its citizens and territory. Hamas is held fully responsible for such assaults and will bear the consequences.”
On Tuesday, fire-fighters, backed by soldiers and volunteers, raced between dozens of fires set off by Arab Palestinian arson balloons from Gaza.
Blackened wheat fields and scorched trees were all that remained of thousands of dunams of fertile land adjoining the Gaza Strip. This was the sixth and most destructive day of the cynical campaign devised by Arab Palestinian terrorists for using bright-coloured toy balloons to sow desolation.
The firefighting teams toiled ceaselessly in the sweltering summer heat to keep the flames from reaching populated areas. No one was hurt.
This year’s Palestinian balloons are causing even more damage than they did in their first appearance in 2018. On Tuesday, they focused mainly on the Kisufim and Beeri environs in the Eshkol council bordering on the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip slammed Israel’s closure of the Kerem Shalom goods crossing into the enclave early Tuesday, accusing Israel of “belligerent” acts. “This is a crime against two million Palestinians. Israel will be held responsible for the consequences.”
Its leaders have indicated that the escalation of terrorist violence against Israel is their means of pressuring Qatar to continue its regular cash gifts to the Gaza Strip, after its year-long program winds down next month.
Amid the flames and the smoke, a new neighbourhood was inaugurated at Kibbutz Sufa, the first in 33 years. It will accommodate 20 young families who have joined the kibbutz.
On Monday, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs, Benny Gantz, asserted that the regime is ready for a war with Lebanon.

Three Israeli Tanks Cross Border Fence to Enter Lebanese Territory......
13 August 2020
TEHRAN (FNA)- Three Israeli battle tanks encroached upon a technical fence that separates Lebanon from the occupied territories amid tensions between the Tel Aviv regime and Hezbollah resistance movement, whose member was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Syria last month.
Two tanks crossed the so-called Blue Line – the UN-recognized boundary between the Israeli territories and Lebanon – near Meiss Ej Jabal village in the Marjeyoun district on Tuesday, and were deployed in an area of the Southern Lebanese neighbourhood of Kroum al-Sharqi, the Arabic-language An-Nahar daily newspaper reported.
The report added that the third tank crossed the border and was positioned on a road just opposite the area.
A phosphorous bomb was later fired by one of the tanks. No injuries were reported.
Tensions have been running high between Israel and Hezbollah since July 20, when Tel Aviv killed Hezbollah member Ali Kamel Mohsen in an airstrike on Syria.
The Israeli military has placed its forces near the Lebanese and Syrian borders on high alert after Hezbollah promised retaliation.
