Chairman Tamir Idan of the Sdot Negev Regional Council has responded to the arson balloon that landed in a regional kindergarten a few minutes after the end of the school day.

Idan said, "The incendiary balloon that fell today in the kindergarten in the council could have caused a disaster if it had landed a few minutes earlier. It's just like a missile. It's impossible to continue to remain silent. Every day there are fires in the Gaza vicinity and there is no proper response from Israel. The arson-balloon terror has to stop."
