Firefighters battle to control huge blaze said sparked by Gaza balloon
[IsraelTimes] Teams working to save the greenhouses at Moshav Ein Habesor; front man for rescue services says 7 blazes caused by incendiary balloons launched from the coastal enclaveFirefighters and security services fought to control a huge blaze at Moshav Ein Habesor in southern Israel Saturday evening, thought to have been ignited by an incendiary device launched from the Gazoo Strip. Farmers, firefighters, and security officers worked together to try to stop the flames from reaching nearby greenhouses, the Ynet news site reported. "A local resident saw a Molotov cocktail landing and within minutes the fire broke out, and we rushed to the site and tried to control the fire. But since this is a very dry area, the fire simply spread. Many people rushed to help, but it’s very dangerous," a witness told Ynet. A front man for the Fire and Rescue Services said since the morning, firefighters worked to extinguish seven blazes near Israeli towns along the border caused by incendiary balloons launched from Gazoo.
