Defense Minister Benny Gantz held a security situation assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt General Aviv Kochavi about the incendiary balloon warfare being waged on Israel’s southern border.
At its conclusion, Gantz said: “Every explosive balloon or rocket landing in Israel, and violating its sovereignty, holds one return address: Hamas. By launching rockets and explosive balloons, the heads of Hamas are undermining the interests of the residents of Gaza and are impairing their ability to live in dignity and security.
"The IDF will respond forcefully to any violation of sovereignty until complete quiet is restored in the south. If Sderot isn’t quiet, Gaza won’t be either.”
