Fire erupts in forest near Safed after military intercepts threat
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A fire has erupted in Biriya Forest near Safed in northern Israel, after an interceptor missile was launched at an incoming threat in the area, local authorities say.
Two firefighting teams are at the scene and there is no fear that the fire will threaten any nearby towns, the Marom Hagalil Regional Council says.
The fire apparently sparked from falling shrapnel following the interception.
The IDF has not yet commented on the incident.
