Hamas said Israel is fabricating a pretext to intensify attacks on Gaza, after Israel threatened broad evacuations and air assaults if paper kites from the Strip continued to be launched.
Earlier on Sunday, a statement by Netanyahu's office said Israel gave Hamas a three-day deadline to halt the kite launches.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem responded with a statement on the group's website later on Sunday that this move amounts to "threatening children."
He called on the United States, the UN Security Council, and mediating states to pressure Israel into halting what he described as an attempt to undermine a ceasefire.
