Army denies warning Gaza area residents of booby trapped kites
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF denies reports it released a specific warning to residents of Israeli towns around Gaza not to touch fallen kites as they may be booby-trapped.
However, local civilian security officers are instructing residents to call authorities if they see a fallen kite — and not pick them up themselves — because they could still be dangerous.
“Don’t touch them. Don’t not touch the kites. This is obvious, we don’t need the army to tell us that,” says Rafi Bavian, the head of security for the Sdot Hanegev region, which abuts the Gaza Strip.
