Haaretz: Fourth Gaza Strike: Israel Goes on the Attack Against Palestinians Launching Burning Balloons
Air force targeted 'car of cell leader' in early morning hours, followed by group who allegedly sent burning kites into Israel, and additional group who sent incendiary balloons.
The Israeli army said Sunday evening that it struck a car used by a group of Palestinians who launched incindiery balloons from the southern Gaza Strip into Israel, the fourth such strike in a day. Reports in Gaza said Israel attacked a Hamas target east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the center of the coastal enclave. No casualties were reported.
Early Sunday, the military confirmed that it struck the vehicle of one of the leaders of the incendiary kites unit in Gaza. This was in response to a string of kites and balloons with explosives launched at Israel in recent days, the army said. Later, the army struck again, this time also targeting what the army called a cell launching balloons carrying explosive devices.

We also fire bombed Japan. Not necessarily with balloons, which is why our fire bombing campaign killed nearly as many as the nukes did. Just didnt make sense to drop explosive bombs on stick and thatch houses.
