Firefighting and rescue teams, together with the KKL-JNF and the Nature and Parks Authority, with the assistance of IDF personnel and volunteers, operated in at least five fires in the thorny fields in the surrounding area.

Fire and Rescue Investigators in Israel’s southern district determined that the fires were caused by incendiary balloons. In total so far at least five fires have been caused as a result of incendiary balloons on Sunday.
