Hezbollah Rockets Burn Northern “Israeli” Settlements: [Sayyed] Nasrallah Doing What He Wants!
By Staff, Agencies
The Islamic Resistance movement, Hezbollah, has launched a series of rocket and drone strikes on northern part of the Israeli-occupied territories, sparking intense fires there.
“Israeli” authorities dispatched firefighting teams to the area to contain the flames, which spread on Monday due to hot and dry weather.
The “Israeli” military said it had deployed reinforcements to help firefighters extinguish the blazes.
It added that six reservist soldiers were injured as a result of smoke inhalation and taken to a hospital.
Eran Haims, director of the Upper Galilee settlement in the "Israel" Nature and Parks Authority, reported that about 1,200 dunams were burned, including approximately 750 dunams in the Naftali reserve.
Meanwhile, “Israeli” media outlets reported that settlers in “Kiryat Shmona” were evacuated after the blazes engulfed the city.
In a statement, “Israeli” prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the premier held an assessment with security officials about the developments in northern area of the occupied lands and was updated about the firefighting efforts.
Naftali Bennett, a right-wing “Israeli” politician and former prime minister, criticized the Netanyahu cabinet’s handling of the fires.
“Places that were flourishing and beautiful have become cities of ruins,” he said in an X post, describing Hezbollah’s attacks as “heavy”.
For his part, "Kiryat Shmona" settler Amit Freedman told the Ynet news site that the fires have been a “nightmare.”
“We demand that the government deal with the north,” he said. “It seems that they forgot about us. It is as though they gave [Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan] Nasrallah a pass to do whatever he wants.”
