Fires were sparked in the south of Israel on Sunday as a result of incendiary devices flown from Gaza into Israel.
Firefighting units, members of JNF-KKL, members of the Nature and Parks Authority and military bulldozers worked to combat the fires.
KKL-JNF reported four fires in the western Negev - three in parks in the South and one in the Beeri Forest.
According to the fire department, four fires raged in the Eshkol region, one fire in the Shaar Hanegev Regional Council and one fire in the Sdot Negev Regional Council.
All the fires were quickly put out and were discovered to be a result of incendiary balloons from Gaza.
