Trump's 'Board of Peace' warns Hamas against flying kites

The US-led Board of Peace, supervising a Gaza peace plan, has warned Hamas to stop flying kites. According to an official, the message was conveyed directly through established mechanisms, stating that all militant activity in Gaza, including kite flying, must cease.

The warning comes after Israel threatened retaliatory strikes if Hamas revives the tactic of launching incendiary kites over the border. In 2018, Gazans sent incendiary balloons and kites into Israel, causing fires across hundreds of acres of open fields and farmlands.

Gaza parents have also been warned to stop their children flying kites in the war-ravaged enclave. A statement from the popular committees, coordinated with Hamas authorities, said they are working to stop the practice to protect children's lives, not restrict their childhood. The committees noted that children have already been deprived of basic rights to play and live in safety.
