Israel must remember the danger carried by Gaza kites, Hamas dictating tempo at border - editorial
Israel has paid far too high a price to relearn this lesson. The kites crossing the border today may contain nothing, but the next ones may not. We should not wait and see
Assessment
The editorial warns that Israel is repeating a dangerous pattern by downplaying low-tech threats from Gaza. Kites and balloons carrying incendiary devices were a precursor to the October 7 attack, and the current complacency risks another escalation. The core issue is whether Israel will act preemptively or wait until the next kite carries something far worse. The reader should watch for any shift in military response to these border provocations.
