The Fire and Rescue Service says all major blazes in northern Israel have been contained, after some 48 hours of intense firefighting efforts.

“After a tough fight against the flames, with warnings of incoming [arms] fire all the time, all major spots have been brought under control, in the Ramim range, Kiryat Shmona, the Biriya Forest and Keren Naftali,” it says in a statement.

Firefighters will continue to be on alert all night pending a situational assessment, the service says.
