It appears that Cairo is taking a firm hand with Hamas. Cairo has effectively thrown Haniyeh out of Gaza and is apparently taking a no nonsense approach to the islamic terrorist groups looking to start a shooting war with Israel.

At Cairo’s request, Islamist movement to rein in balloon bomb attacks from Gaza
Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules the Gaza Strip, has, according to sources, accepted an Egyptian request to prevent the firing of balloons and kites carrying improvised explosive devices into Israel.
Cairo applied the pressure in an effort to prevent an escalation between Israel and Hamas, after Gazans on January 15 renewed their IED balloon attacks. Gunmen in the Strip first employed incendiary balloons in 2018, and they have burned thousands of acres of fields in southwestern Israel. In the winter, they generally attach bombs to balloons; in warmer months, they also use Molotov cocktails, sometimes tying them to kites rather than balloons.
