Jerusalem, 25 October, 2018 (TPS-IL) -- A large fire, believed to be caused by incendiary balloons, is burning near Kibbutz Kissufim in the Gaza border envelope.

Heavy winds and lack of rain has made it hard for firefighters to get it under control.

Meanwhile, several incendiary balloons landed in the Gaza envelope communities on Thursday morning.

One balloon landed and exploded at Kibbutz Nir Am near Sderot. Police sappers were on the scene to deal with the incident.

Incendiary balloons also landed close to Moshav Hodaya and in Be’er Tuvia in the Ashkelon Beach Regional Council.
