"It starts with a kite and ends with terrorists in the living room": In the Gaza envelope, fury over the return to containment

Another kite was spotted in Nahal Oz. Residents of the Gaza envelope and the "Future for the Envelope" movement demand a firm military response and warn against a return to the policy of containment. Survivor of the massacre, Mirav Cohen, called in an interview not to normalize the threat, criticized the government and the lack of a state commission of inquiry three years after October 7.

Another kite flown from the Gaza Strip was spotted this afternoon in Kibbutz Nahal Oz and caught in tree branches. The kite was brought down and examined, and no inscriptions or explosives were found on it. The "Future for the Envelope" movement stated that "the kites keep coming" and demanded a military response: "It starts with a kite and ends with terrorists in our living room. We have already paid the price for the containment policy." Survivor of the massacre, Mirav Cohen, said in an interview on 103FM that she is debating whether to return to the kibbutz, and that behind the kites there is a "whole narrative" and any attempt to normalize the situation is a disaster. Cohen harshly criticized the current government, which she says is responsible for the October 7 failure, and the lack of a state commission of inquiry three years after the event. She called for replacing the government so that a commission of inquiry could be established and lessons learned. The article also cites a report titled "Strategic Warning: The 2026 Failure" warning of seven warning lights, including the rehabilitation of Hamas, erosion of manpower, and the "fear barrier" preventing warnings.
