Gaza balloons spark at least nine fires in southern Israel
Terrorists in the Gaza Strip sparked at least nine fires in southern Israel throughout the day and likely a tenth with balloon-borne incendiary devices, Fire and Rescue Services investigators say.
These arson attacks come as tensions have been heating up between Israel and terror groups in Gaza.
Firefighters from Fire and Rescue Services, the Israel Defense Forces, the Jewish National Fund and local communities have been battling brushfires throughout the day in the Eshkol and Sdot Negev regions of southern Israel.
Investigators have determined that at least nine fires in Eshkol were sparked by these balloon-based attacks and that another in Sdot Negev was also likely the result of arson, but this was still being checked, Fire and Rescue Services says.

Firefighters are battling blazes at Be’eri and Kissufim forests, near the Gaza Strip.
The cause of the fires is not immediately clear. Previous fires in the area have been sparked by incendiary balloons flown over the Gaza border.
