Proposed alt: "...that in the Gaza stripincendiary balloons made of condoms and party balloons have burned 6,000 acres of Israeli land in 2018?" Catrìona (talk) 02:45, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Minor modification to alt "...that incendiary balloons, made of condoms and party balloons, were launched from the Gaza strip and have burned thousands of acres of Israeli land in 2018?"
I prefer to keep exact numbers out, as they vary and since this is ongoing. I'm OK with the alt, though mentioning kites in the hook is probably relevant (as all the estimates of burnt land are joint between kites and balloons). Also the burning land is not in Gaza - but rather the balloons are launched from Gaza (and then carried by wind go into Israel - one reached 35 kms inside)).Icewhiz (talk) 06:22, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
OK, you're now approved. Catrìona (talk) 12:00, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I'll be reviewing this one. Catrìona (talk) 02:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Great hook! I have suggested an alt to be even snappier. Catrìona (talk) 02:45, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
