Imagine if YOUR car in YOUR neighborhood went up in flames. This just happened - an explosive balloon launched from #Gaza at #Israel set this car on fire.
It’s safe to say that most children would be attracted to these balloons. However, these balloons are far from safe - they were launched by terrorists in #Gaza and landed in #Israel. An explosive was attached to the balloons.
Our soldiers just caught a Palestinian from #Gaza who breached the border fence with #Israel & made his way towards an Israeli community. We are examining a fire at a nearby greenhouse that the terrorist appears to have ignited.

This is what it looks like 80+ feet underground, inside a Hezbollah attack tunnel dug from under a home in #Lebanon into #Israel. #NorthernShield
Iran annually funnels $1 billion to Hezbollah in Lebanon for terror - including attack tunnels into #Israel. This money is equivalent to: 333,333,333 @McDonalds Happy Meals. Let that sink in. #CondemnTheTunnels
