For 5th straight day Gazans fly flaming kite into Israel, setting fire to field

A fire breaks out in an Israeli wheat field outside the Gaza Strip because of a kite bearing a container of flaming liquid, for the fifth time in as many days, according to the local fire department.

The kite apparently touched down in a field near the Israeli community of Kibbutz Be’eri, east of Gaza.

Firefighters are working to bring it under control, the fire department spokesperson says.
