A Gaza-based terror group posted a video on Sunday vowing to continue their arson attacks on southern Israel “day and night.”

The video, in Arabic with Hebrew subtitles, was posted to the Telegram account of “Ahfad Al-Nasser,” which belongs to the Popular Resistance Committees.

“We are here to burn you [...] to make you wish you were dead,” the video says. “You will not enjoy a decent life [...] this is part of our rage.”

In the video, members of the group are seen preparing incendiary balloons.

On Saturday, following three consecutive days of arson attacks from the Gaza Strip, Israeli warplanes struck a weapons-manufacturing facility and rocket-launching site in Gaza belonging to Hamas, according to the Israeli military.

In mid-June, incendiary devices launched from Gaza ignited a total of 26 conflagrations in southern Israel.

“At a time when some would isolate Israeli academia, UCLA has chosen collaboration,” Eveline Shekhman of the American Jewish Medical Association told JNS.
The Israeli military also killed a Gazan Hamas operative involved in a money exchange network that finances the Islamist organization.
The Israeli military grounds attack and munition-dropping drones as it investigates whether a technical malfunction or enemy interference caused the tragedy.
Jason Brodsky, of United Against Nuclear Iran, told JNS that the address carried messages to “the international community, antisemites abroad, state threats against Israel and most especially the Iranian people.”
