Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Hamas on Sunday that the IDF would expand its strikes across the Gaza Strip if the launching of kites, balloons and drones toward Israel does not stop immediately. In a joint statement issued after a security assessment, Netanyahu and Katz said Israel would target those responsible for the launches. They said civilians may be evacuated from areas used for launches before the IDF strikes infrastructure there. The IDF has identified at least six kites that crossed from Gaza over the past week, according to Israeli military sources cited by The Jerusalem Post. The IDF said no suspicious material was found on the kites recovered over the weekend and that they posed no danger to the public.

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella authorized the resumption of coal exports to Israel, reversing restrictions imposed under former President Gustavo Petro, the Colombian government announced. Trade Minister Mauricio Gómez Amín said the government had issued a decree authorizing the exports. Petro suspended coal shipments to Israel in 2024 over the war in Gaza, and his administration imposed a total export ban in 2025. "I again authorized coal exports to Israel, ending the vetoes and ideological restrictions of the past," De la Espriella said. He said the restrictions had harmed Colombia's economy, undermined legal certainty and weakened international confidence in the country. Colombia's National Federation of Coal Producers said the restrictions eliminated about 3.5 million metric tons in annual shipments to Israel, valued at approximately $200 million.

Hackers affiliated with Iran's government shut down a small British electricity generator for four days in late July, The Telegraph reported Saturday. The newspaper said it was believed to be the first successful Iran-linked cyberattack to shut down a British energy facility. A British government spokesperson told the newspaper that the incident affected a small-scale generator and never posed a risk to the wider energy system. Officials did not identify the facility, citing national security concerns. The Telegraph said the incident coincided with cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure across 12 states. The British government has since briefed energy company chief executives on measures to protect their facilities, according to the newspaper.

Ben Gurion Airport remains heavily disrupted more than a day after Thursday's operational breakdown, with Flightradar24 data showing it as the world's most disrupted airport for departures on Friday. Departing flights were facing average delays of roughly 70 to 90 minutes, while the airport ranked 10th globally when both arrivals and departures were included. The Israel Airports Authority has blamed Thursday's shutdown on a wildcat strike by airport workers, after check-in counters and baggage handling stopped for more than an hour. Airport union chief Pinchas Idan strongly denies that any strike took place, instead accusing management of shutting down operations amid severe staffing shortages. Idan says employees have been working shifts of up to 13 hours and had repeatedly warned that baggage handling teams were understaffed. The dispute has now escalated politically. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted a formal request to expel Idan from the Likud party, arguing that the timing of the disruption, one day after Netanyahu and Transportation Minister Miri Regev toured the airport, was intended to embarrass them. Meanwhile, Channel 12 reported that Idan had attempted a day earlier to prevent Regev's luggage from being loaded onto her flight to Morocco as a demonstration of the staffing crisis, an allegation he denies. Tens of thousands of Israelis are reportedly stranded abroad, some without their luggage, while the continuing disruption is estimated to cost around NIS 30 million.
