Unverified Iraqi channels claim Israeli warplanes dropped balloons carrying notes in Hebrew near the border with Iraq, according to reports. The IDF has not commented on the claim and no further details have been released.
Unverified Iraqi channels are circulating a claim that Israeli fighter jets dropped balloons carrying notes written in Hebrew near the border with Iraq. The report, attributed to unnamed sources by the Abu Ali Express outlet, has not been confirmed by the IDF or any official source. The reported location is the vicinity of the Iraq border, which would mark a rare publicly noted incident of Israeli air activity in that area. No details on the content of the notes, the number of balloons, or the specific time of the alleged operation have been provided. The claim remains unverified and is treated with caution.
The Zioneer has previously covered reports of US and Israeli fighter jets flying over Iraq (June 10), albeit in a different context and without a balloon operation. This new claim, if confirmed, would represent an unusual psychological warfare or propaganda tactic. The IDF has not issued any statement.
