This coming Friday has been declared “Kautschuk Day” – the day of the tire. Throughout the Gaza Strip, used tires are being collected in order to set them on fire during the scheduled riots at the border fence – to obscure the activities of the gathered mob behind a wall of smoke, and prevent IDF soldiers from being able to respond in a timely fashion.
The Hamas organizers hope that under the cover of smoke from the burning tires, the crowd could stampede unheeded and break through the fences.
Gaza Arabs, especially the women, were instructed to equip themselves with mirrors and laser pointers to confuse the IDF snipers (which should be most effective against the IDF feline unit).
The instructions that were published Tuesday explain that the IDF is photographing the demonstrators and—using face recognition technology—is able to identify the terrorists embedded in the crowd and to which group they belong. Therefore, everyone was called on to come dressed in similar garb, in the colors of the Palestinian flag, to cover their faces, to bring along many containers of water, and to pocket many onions as an antidote to tear gas.
The organizers goal is to store no less than 10,000 tires around the six confrontation points along the fence, and on an order from the organizers, to ignite them simultaneously.
Here’s a question: what prevents the IDF from setting those tires on fire Thursday?
