33 fires ignited today in south by Gaza arson balloons

The fire service says the number of blazes ignited Wednesday by airborne incendiary devices from Gaza has climbed to 33.

Most of the fires in southern Israel were “small and not dangerous,” it says.

But Channel 12 says one of the fires inched dangerously close to train tracks in the Gaza periphery, nearly setting a train on fire as it passed. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
