A local council leader in the north says that the large rocket and drone attacks have caused a number of fires in the area.

“They have mainly landed in open areas, but have sparked fires,” Ori Kallner, head of the Golan regional council, tells Channel 12, noting the hot and dry weather.

He adds that the summer vacation has begun but says there is currently no discussion of closing day camps in the area, saying that they should all have shelters.

The apparent Hezbollah attack comes a day after the IDF killed a senior leader in the terror group.
