      Defense Minister Katz in response to kite launches toward the Gaza envelope: “I have instructed the IDF to act immediately and forcefully against any phenomenon of launches from Gaza toward the communities of the western Negev. We view every launch as an act of war in every respect and are committed to the absolute defense of the Israeli communities. A balloon is the same as a kite, and a kite is the same as a drone—with or without explosives. We will not allow a return to the reality before October 7, and anyone who organizes, launches, or enables the launches will be dealt with immediately and with the utmost severity.”
