Hamas Kites: First Step in Psychological Warfare
Dr. Shleifer, an expert in psychological warfare, determines that the innocent kites launched from Gaza are the beginning of a planned and systematic move by Hamas to accustom Israel.
Assessment
A psychological warfare expert identifies the kites launched from Gaza as the opening phase of a deliberate Hamas campaign to desensitize Israel. The claim reframes what might appear as improvised protest tactics into a calculated strategy of normalization. The key question is whether Israeli decision makers treat this as a warning signal or dismiss it as marginal nuisance.
