Israel warns of 'forceful' response to kites flown from Gaza

The Israeli reports cited military sources as saying they believed Hamas was behind the kites and that they might have been intended to test Israel's response.No suspicious materials were attached to the kites and they did not pose a threat, the military said.But Katz warned there would be "zero tolerance" and said: "A balloon is treated like a kite, and a kite is treated like a drone, with or without explosives."Residents of Nahal Oz said in a statement that they feared the return of incendiary kites and balloons, adding: "We will not accept a policy of containment when it comes to our security."Hamas warned of "the danger of the allegations and threats" from Israel and said the kites were "basically children's toys from displacement camps"."These threats are based on fabricated pretexts and are an attempt to justify the continuation of the aggression and violations against our people," a spokesman for the group added.On Sunday, Palestinian health officials said two people were killed and seven others injured in two Israeli strikes in Nuseirat refugee camp and the town of al-Zawayda, both in central Gaza.A four-year-old boy called Mohammed Taha was killed when a building in al-Zawayda, just north of Maghazi refugee camp, was bombed, according to local media.
