A year of violence at the Israel-Gaza border: 1,000 rockets and nearly 2,000 fires

On March 30, a year will have pbaded since violent riots broke out on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip..

As of that date, the Hamas terrorist movement has organized every week, with a few exceptions, the "return marches". Thousands of Palestinians approached the barrier between Israel and Gaza each week in a violent manner and, in many cases, even infiltrated Israeli territory.

Since the riots began, more than 1,100 rockets and mortars have been fired from Gaza. In addition, more than 600 Molotov bombs were dropped and 18 rounds were fired.

Undoubtedly, the main damage was caused by a new terrorist method that began in parallel with the beginning of the riots: the launch of incendiary balloons and comets.

Since the end of March of last year, incendiary balloons and comets have caused more than 1,900 fires in Israeli territory.. Nearly 8,500 hectares of land were damaged by fires that caused losses around $ 9.5 million.

This weekend will mark the anniversary of the protests and, after the recent escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist movements in recent hours, incidents over the weekend could trigger a new wave of violence.
