Six firefighting crews have been dispatched to try and quell a series of blazes sparked when rockets fired from Lebanon landed in uninhabited areas, setting dry brush alight.
The fires are mostly in northern Israel’s Hula Valley, including near Ayelet Hashahar, the Fire Service says.
“As of now the fire is not under control,” Fire Service Captain Gadi Azoulay says in a statement.
At least five more rockets fired at north, IDF says
A volley of at least five rockets was launched from Lebanon at the Beit Hillel area in northern Israel a short while ago, according to the IDF.
One rocket struck near Maayan Baruch Junction.
There are no reports of injuries, but heavy smoke can be seen in the area.
Rocket sirens sounding again in northern cities and towns near Lebanon border
Rocket alert sirens are sounding again in northern towns and cities near the border with Lebanon, warning of incoming missile fire.
The sirens can be heard in largely evacuated communities including Kfar Giladi, Kiryat Shmona, Margaliot, Misgav Am and Tel Hai.
Dozens of rockets have been fired at the north throughout the day, with Hezbollah claiming the most recent attack was launched to avenge an Israeli strike earlier in the day that killed a member of the Iran-backed group responsible for building weapons.
