Fires are still blazing at at least main locations in the north following a barrage of rocket and drone attacks launched by Hezbollah in Lebanon, amid unusually hot weather.
A spokesperson for the Fire and Rescue Services says that efforts are being focused on fires blazing in the Biriya Forest in the Upper Galilee, as well as several locations in the Golan Heights, near Katzrin and Kidmat Tsvi.
Firefighters are being joined by forces from the IDF, local security forces as well as forces from Keren Kayemet Le’Israel and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority working to get the flames under control.
