Gazans send incendiary balloon over border, causing fire

An incendiary device attached to a helium balloon is sent over the border from Gaza in Israel, causing a fire in a field outside Kibbutz Nir Am in the southwestern Shaar Hanegev region.

Reports say the extent of the damage is unclear.

It is the first such helium balloon sent from Gaza after several weeks in which Palestinians on the other side of the fence caused several fires using Molotov cocktails attached to kites.
