Seven fires broke out today (Saturday) in the territories of the Ashkelon and Eshkol regional councils as a result of the launching of incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip. Fire crews, together with the KKL-JNF and the Nature and Parks Authority, with the assistance of the IDF and opponents, are working to extinguish the fire. The fire brigade said that "most of the fires were small and not dangerous."
More than 200 fires have erupted since the beginning of the week in the western Negev following incendiary balloons. In addition, several rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip, with one of them hitting directly at a house in Sderot this week. In response, the IDF attacks Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip every night.
