Netanyahu, Katz order zero-tolerance response to Gaza kites
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the Israel Defense Forces to adopt a "zero-tolerance" policy toward kites and balloons launched from the Gaza Strip into the Negev on Monday.
- Netanyahu and Katz warned Hamas on Sunday night that if kite launches did not stop immediately, the IDF would increase targeted strikes and evacuate residents from areas used as launch sites.
- Israel gave the Board of Peace three days to halt kite launches, as officials confirmed "it's very difficult to deal with something that any child can put together."
- Following the ultimatum, Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar have begun pressuring Hamas to end the launches, while Katz said a balloon or kite shall be treated the same as a drone.
- Netanyahu stressed that Israel will not return to the security situation that existed before Oct. 7, 2023, and will not allow Hamas to threaten Israeli communities again.
