Former Defense Minister Naftali Bennett (Yamina) criticized the government's response to recent security incidents.

"Nasrallah announces that he will kill an IDF soldier. The government continues to sit and wait. Hamas terrorists have sparked 24 fires throughout the south since the morning. The train line to Be'ersheva has been blocked but the government allows it to continue," Bennett wrote on Twittter

"Netanyahu and Gantz approve the continued transfer of NIS 110 million each month to terrorists and their families. They are shattering Israeli deterrence," Bennett wrote.

Since the beginning of August, about 450 fires have broken out in the Gaza Envelope as a result of incendiary balloons launched from Gaza.

The fires have burned about 1,800 dunams (450 acres) of Israeli land.
