Flaming balloon from Gaza damages roof of building in southern Israel
A number of fires have broken out in southern Israel as a result of incendiary kites and balloons launched by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, officials say.
In one case, a balloon laden with burning material landed on the roof of a storehouse in one of the communities in the Hof Ashkelon region, causing light damage to the building before it was put out, a spokesperson for the region says.
Fires are also reported in the area around Kibbutz Mefalsim, temporarily shutting down traffic in the nearby Route 232 highway, officials from the Sha’ar Hanegev say.
