Kite terrorism has resumed over southern Israel and the Gaza border area, prompting a stern warning from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Kach. They informed the Israeli Security Cabinet that if the launching of incendiary kites and balloons from Gaza does not cease within 72 hours, Israel will respond with a significant and sustained aerial campaign against targets in the Gaza Strip.
This decision follows a recent security assessment involving Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, the National Security Advisor, and senior IDF officials. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel will not revert to the security situation prior to October 7 and will not tolerate Hamas or any other Gaza-based groups threatening Israeli communities or undermining civilian security.
The government has already communicated to Hamas that continued kite attacks will lead to expanded targeted killings in Gaza. The renewed threat and Israel's firm stance were also conveyed to the Security Cabinet to ensure a unified approach. Netanyahu's message was clear: if the kite terrorism persists, Israel will escalate its military response decisively to restore security and deter future attacks.
