Israeli defense minister threatens Gaza assassinations, evacuations over balloon launches
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported18m ago
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned Hamas on Sunday that Israel would intensify military strikes, carry out assassinations, and evacuate residential neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip. The threats were issued in response to the continued launching of incendiary drones, balloons, and kites from the Palestinian territory toward Israeli settlements near the enclave.
The warnings, confirmed in a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, follow recent allegations in Israeli media regarding the ongoing cross-border launching tactics. The latest Israeli threats target both the leadership through potential targeted killings and the civilian infrastructure via neighborhood displacements if the airborne incendiary devices persist.
