Intense Forest Fires Blaze in Northern Israel After Rockets from Lebanon

Intense forest fires erupted in northern Israel shortly after rocket and drone strikes from Lebanon, prompting the partial evacuation of Kiryat Shmona.

Cross-border clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah have led to near-daily exchanges of fire.

Firefighting units, assisted by the Israeli army, are working to extinguish the blazes.

Six IDF reservist soldiers were injured due to smoke inhalation and have been hospitalized.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is closely monitoring the situation, with the army conducting a situational assessment in the area.
