Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have issued a joint warning to the Hamas terror organization following Israeli concerns that the group is attempting to launch drones and other aerial devices toward Israel. The move has drawn criticism for resembling Israel's deterrence strategy prior to the October 7 massacre, which failed to prevent Hamas's large-scale attack that killed some 1,200 people and saw over 240 taken hostage. Critics have characterized the warning as a return to the "conception", the term used in Israel to describe the flawed assumptions that left the country vulnerable to the devastating assault.
