Arafat Balloons Sent into Israel from HizbAllah
Al Anwar, Beirut, Jan. 3, 2002
The Israeli army panicked into alert along the border with Lebanon as
about 50 huge Hizbullah balloons carrying Yasser Arafat's portraits
traveled into the air space of the Jewish state, sparking a scare of
an aerial booby-traps attack by Hizbullah.
Troops refrained from shooting at the multi-colored balloons out of
fear they might be carrying explosive charges that could crash into
population centers in Israel's northern Galilee panhandle. News agency
dispatches said the balloons rose from Hizbullah bases in south
Lebanon.
Reports from the Lebanese side of the frontier said the balloons,
which also had Hizbullah slogans pasted in big Arabic, English and
Hebrew letters, were sent as Christmas and New Year salutes to the
hard-pressed Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
One report said the balloons were prepared in Palestinian refugee
camps straddling the port city of Tyre and passed to Hizbullah to
release them into northern Israel from south Lebanon. Hizbullah
fighters effectively control the southern border with Israel.
The balloons penetrated to about 10 kilometers inside northern Israel
before landing at uninhabited spots, where they popped by Israeli army
sappers.
News agencies said the balloons sparked the same fears like that of
1987, when a guerrilla from Ahmed Jibreel's Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine-General Command flew by a motorized
hang-glider into a northern Israeli army base to kill 6 soldiers
before he was shot dead.
A similar scare made Israeli jets shoot down a civilian aircraft flown
into northern Israel by a Lebanese Armenian aviation trainee by
mistake early last year. The pilot perished by an Israeli air-to-air
missile.
