Gaza balloons set brush ablaze in Israel

Balloon-borne incendiary devices launched from the Gaza Strip caused at least seven fires in southern Israel throughout the day, the fire department says.

The brush fires are all located in the Eshkol region, east of southern Gaza. Fire and Rescue Services says they are small and do not pose a threat to nearby communities.

The ongoing airborne arson attacks come as Israel and terror groups in the Strip negotiate a ceasefire through third parties.
