Board of Peace and Israeli diplomatic sources confirmed that Egypt, Turkey and Qatar received three days to press Hamas to halt kite launches from Gaza before Israel expands its response. The IDF said the launches are part of a Hamas effort to heat up the Gaza front. Board sources said no weapons or incendiary devices had been attached to the kites so far, but warned the launches could collapse the Gaza roadmap. They also accused Israel of not implementing the 20-point agreement, which they said made it harder to press Hamas toward disarmament.
