Mass Fires in Israel Brought Under Control

North Israel is burning with more than 15 fires going on at the same time. However, it would be an understatement to count them for the horizons of these northern areas are covered with flames and smoke.

Set alight by Hezbollah rockets launched from southern Lebanon, some of which through drones, thousands of acres are burning.

The fires have started, Sunday and have continued all through Monday night, going into Tuesday morning with teams of Israeli firefighters battling the raging flames but to no avail.

These fires are being described as apocalyptic and never seen before.

Videoclips are trending on the X platform showing the extent of the raging flames. All video clips show the rage in the fires that see no end as long as rockets keep coming to the northern Galilee.

Some of the worst hit areas is the settlement of Kiryat Shmona where thousands of Israelis are fleeing their homes.  It is reported six firemen were injured trying to control the flames here. The settlement, situated in northeastern occupied Palestine, had a population of 24,000 settlers.

Many of these were evacuated in the past eight months because of the constant targeting by Hezbollah rockets. Only 4000 remained but now and with the raging fires, these Israeli settlers are being evacuated quickly.

One blogger pointed out that 12 to 13 kilometers of the Galilee and Kiryat Shmona belt are burning despite fire crews who are working round-the-clock to put the fires out.

Israel’s Iron Dome is unable to deflect the incoming rockets from southern Lebanon as they are being launched in bundles and firemen are unable to put the fires out because of the wind changes.

The Israeli authorities say that after 48 hours they brought the fires under control.
