Firefighters are still battling a blaze in the Biriya Forest in the Upper Galilee that was sparked earlier today after a missile attack from Lebanon.
The Fire and Rescue Service says in a statement that firefighters successfully got the flames at two locations in the Golan Heights under control, but are still working in the Galilee.
Firefighters, the IDF and other forces are working “in the heavy heat, under constant alerts of rocket fire” to quash the blaze.
