Kats Ends Deadline for Kite and Balloon Issue
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz made a decisive decision regarding the phenomenon of kites and balloons from the Gaza Strip. He announced that the deadline set by Israel to end this phenomenon has expired, and that any launches from Gaza will be met with strong retaliation, considering them acts of terrorism. He confirmed that the Israeli army will operate according to government directives, including evacuating civilians if violations continue. He explained that Israel has not opened the Erez crossing for the movement of goods and linked the reconstruction of the sector to the disarmament of Hamas. The events also revealed the discovery of seven kites from Gaza over a two-week period, noting that they did not carry incendiary or explosive materials. Hamas denied organizing the launches, claiming they were carried out by children within the displacement camps, and accused Israel of trying to use the phenomenon as a pretext for further escalation.
