well israel is saying that bunning kites being flown across the gaza border by palestinian protesters are increasing the tensions the kites which began as part of weekly friday protests against the occupation have been thousands of acres of israeli land stephanie decker has more from jerusalem. these kites handmade with flaming rags have become a tool for palestinian protesters rallying along gaza spens they've not called a single death but they have burned more than seven thousand acres of land on the israeli side the israeli prime minister issued a warning about the kites at sunday's cabinet meeting hours after his military targeted had mass in gaza. i heard it being said that israel has agreed to a cease fire that would allow the continuation of terrorism by incendiary cuts and balloons this is incorrect we are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately. for now the egyptian brokered cease fire between hamas and israel appears to be largely holding but it is fragile israel will not tolerate a scenario by which its citizens will be constantly hel

israel has been frustrated for weeks now by century burning balloons and burning kites that drift over the border during friday protests and set fire to israeli crops prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been under enormous domestic pressure particularly from border communities to do something to stop them and israel has threatened hamas and said to hamas if you do not stop these kites we will get back in this seems to be that retaliation. dozens of rockets have been fired by armed groups from gaza towards israel a few have been intercepted by israel's iron dome system and usually hamas is claimed sole responsibility for some of the rockets fired by israel's air strikes follow friday's protests which are now in their fourth month a fifteen year old palestinian was shot dead when israel says he tried to climb the fence the mainly peaceful protests began as an attempt to persuade israel to lift its twelve year long blockade of gaza but israel has not made any concessions and that's led to enormous frustration amongst garza's almost two million people. all in a moment we'll hear from our

for them and that's all they can do pretty much all they can do just send balloons for sent flying kites and we've seen that you know israelis were killed no one wasn't a wall on the palestinian side one hundred more than one hundred thirty five people killed where you have. that you do it you'll. guard sides and kill people kill it target the children so i don't think it's up of equation then learns does not equal to. life so there is enormous frustration here that after more than three and a half months of protests at the border fence to try and get some relief from the blockade the twelve year old blockade and siege of gaza this is what they get instead and that frustration is what has been leading to these intensified clashes and confrontations with israel and the concern is that there is not some sort of long term solution to ending the siege or at least relieving the siege of gaza then one of these confrontations could spiral into outright full scale conflict well israel is saying bunning kites being flown across the gaza border by palestinian protesters are increasing the tensions

what israel says the mold and three thousand hate private land says been since these balloon and kites tanks started there are certain israeli politicians that are putting a lot of pressure on the government in the military for a heavy response and that pressure has been mounting we also understand it certainly according to the israeli media so it's been reported that the government has given hamas a deadline to stop these attacks and reported that that deadline is expected to end tomorrow we're not getting any reports of any kind of troop movement toward fighters being hamas fighters being moved into position in preparation for any kind of offensive but let's not forget what happened last weekend we saw an escalation that was described as the biggest escalation of violence since the two thousand and fourteen war it's safe to say that neither israel nor the people of gaza want another war listen forget that about one thousand five hundred civilians were killed in two thousand and fourteen in that conflict including five hundred children so there are a lot of fear is of what could turn
