JERUSALEM (JTA) —
First kites and balloons, and now birds are being used to by Palestinians in
Gaza to set fires in southern Israel.
Israel Nature and Parks Authority
personnel on Monday afternoon found a common kestrel, a member of the falcon
family, hanging from a burned tree wearing a harness to which was attached a
wire wrapped around flammable material.
The bird was discovered after
workers put out a fire that had broken out in Habesor National Park.
It is the first time that an
animal has been used to ignite fires, according to a statement from the Israel
Nature and Parks Authority.
