> Israel warned that it would intensify the killing of Hamas officials and displace more Palestinians from launch areas in Gaza if kites, balloons and drones continue crossing toward southern Israel. The warning came from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office and Defense Minister Israel Katz. The military said an intercepted kite carried no explosives or public danger.
