Hezbollah rocket barrage sparks wildfires in northern Israel

 Wildfires broke out in the Hula Valley of northern Israel after rockets fell in open areas, the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority said.

Hezbollah said it fired five rocket barrages into Safed and Haifa in northern Israel on Saturday.

Eight firefighting teams from the Galilee-Golan station were actively working to contain the fires and prevent their spread to nearby agricultural lands and a nature reserve, according to a statement from the Fire and Rescue Authority. The teams are focused on controlling multiple fire sites sparked by missiles that landed in the region, it said.
