Summary
Israel warned Hamas on Sunday that it would intensify its operations in the Gaza Strip if kites, drones and balloons were launched to Israel. " It is the army's responsibility to act in time," said Uri Epstein, a representative of the communities living near the border with Gaza, many of whom were attacked during the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023. A fragile truce has been in effect since October 2025, while the mediator countries are working to advance the implementation of the American peace plan.
Furthermore, "Israel warns Hamas that, if the firing to Israel does not stop immediately, the army will take steps to intensify targeted operations against those responsible for the shooting and evacuate the population from areas where kites, drones and balloons are being thrown," said Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz in a joint statement. In another press release, the Islamist movement accused Israel of using kites as "a pretext" for Sunday's airstrikes in the central Gaza Strip, in which three people were killed according to civil defence. Israeli media reported that four kites were found on Saturday in communities close to the border and another was shot dead by the army on Sunday, bringing the total number recovered in recent days to about ten.
In addition, Kites launched by "children in the midst of the rubble" Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas' political bureau, assured in a statement that kites had been "launched from Gaza by children seeking their innocent childhood in the midst of the rubble". In retaliation for this unprecedented attack, Israel carried out a devastating offensive in the Gaza Strip. In retaliation, Israel launched a large-scale military operation in the enclave, which caused more than 73,000 deaths, according to local authorities controlled by Hamas, a humanitarian disaster, the destruction of almost all the infrastructure in the territory and the displacement of hundreds of thousands.
