Flaming kites from Gaza spark fires near border

Flaming kites flown from the Gaza Strip into Israel spark a pair of fires near the Gaza border.

One of the fires is near Kibbutz Nir Am, while the other is near the Kerem Shalom border crossing.

A soldier is reportedly lightly injured from smoke inhalation due to the second fire.

The fires come as the army prepares for weekly clashes along the border fence.
