Incendiary balloons start fires in Gaza border region, Sderot

At least three fires broke out on Friday in Kibbutzim Or HaNer and Erez as a result of incendiary balloons flown into Israel from the strip.

Furthermore, a fire had broken out near a railway track in the city of Sderot, prompting the authorities to close Route 34 between Sderot and Kibbutz Yad Mordechai due to a heavy smoke.
