Northern Israel is engulfed in wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket attacks from Lebanon. The fires have spread rapidly, affecting multiple settlements including Kiryat Shmona, Shlomi, Ami'ad, Kfar Giladi, and Margaliot, with 20 massive fires reported. Thousands of residents have been evacuated, and 32 firefighting units are battling the blazes under extreme weather conditions. Six Israeli firefighters, six IDF soldiers, and five civilians have been injured due to smoke inhalation. The fires have scorched nearly 2,500 acres, destroying avocado farms and resulting in 16 deaths. Israeli authorities have declared a state of emergency and are considering a full-scale military response against Hezbollah. The situation remains tense, with Israeli officials calling for strong retaliatory measures and Hezbollah preparing for potential escalation.
