According to MEE correspondent Mohammed Asad, kites flown by Palestinian demonstrators and carrying improvised incendiary devices have sparked a fire in a forest located close to the Israeli side of the fence separating Gaza from Israel, east of Gaza city near the closed Karni crossing.

Gaza demonstrators have flown kites for the past six weeks. While most kites have not carried Molotov cocktails, some protesters have attempted to use the makeshift flying devices to reach into Israel and cause material damage.
