Israel dice a Hamás que intensificará sus bombardeos si no cesan los lanzamientos de cometas desde Gaza

Israel has warned Hamas that it will intensify its attacks in Gaza if the militant group does not stop launching kites, drones, and balloons towards Israel. According to the Israeli government, the launches, which have been attributed to Hamas, have been increasing in recent days, with around 10 kites recovered near the Gaza border.

The Israeli military believes that Hamas is behind the launches, which have not carried explosives. However, the Israeli government has taken the launches seriously, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz issuing a joint statement warning that if the launches continue, the IDF will take action to intensify targeted operations against those responsible.

The Israeli government has given Hamas a three-day deadline to halt the kite launches, threatening a broad air assault if they continue. Israel also plans to evacuate areas of Gaza from which the kites, drones, and balloons are launched. The recent incidents have revived memories of previous waves of incendiary kites and balloons launched from Gaza, which sparked fires in agricultural lands in southern Israel, according to Gulf News.
