Three fires broke out in forest areas in the Western Negev on Thursday afternoon caused by incendiary balloons, the KKL-JNF reported. Two of the fires took place in the Be'eri Forest and one in the Kissufim forests. KKL-JNF staff and residents of Kibbutz Be'eri worked to extinguish the flames. This is a developing story.
