Gaza balloon sparks blaze near kibbutz in south
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA balloon-borne incendiary device launched from the Gaza Strip sparks a fire in southern Israel, the fire department says.
“A team of firefighters worked to put out a brushfire caused by a balloon in the Gaza area, near one of the kibbutzes,” a spokesperson for the department’s southern district says in a statement.
The blaze occurred outside Kibbutz Nahal Oz in the Sha’ar Hanegev region. It was extinguished by a team of volunteers, the fire department says.
Throughout the day, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been launching balloons carrying incendiary devices into southern Israel in an apparent violation of an unofficial ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and terror groups in the enclave.
