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.
