Fires continue to rage in northern Israel as a result of rocket and drone attacks from Lebanon today.
A number of homes are reported on fire in Kiryat Shmona, with fire teams spread throughout the mostly evacuated city to control the flames.
In Kibbutz Kfar GIladi, north of the city, video shared on social media shows a local security team battling flames encroaching on the community.
Fires are also reported in the Mount Adir and Amiad areas, leading to closures of major roads in the Galilee area. Backup teams are being dispatched from other regions to provide assistance.
Police say forces are “evacuating homes, directing traffic, and conducting scans of various areas while firefighters aided by others are helping douse flames.”
