The Palestinian Information Center reported that 14 fire crews and six “Israeli” planes are currently battling extensive fires in northern “Israel”, following a series of rocket attacks from Lebanon.

The fires, which began this evening, were ignited by more than 50 rockets fired from southern Lebanon.

Hebrew media reported that these rockets targeted the northern regions of the occupied territories, particularly the Upper Galilee.

“Israeli” Channel 12 confirmed that "dozens of rockets were detected in recent minutes from Lebanon targeting Upper Galilee," describing the situation as a significant rocket attack. Sirens have been activated in Safed and surrounding areas as a precaution.

The final rocket volley struck uninhabited areas, prompting warnings for residents to avoid gathering, according to Maariv.

Despite the severity of the attacks, Magen David Adom (MDA), “Israel's” national medical emergency service, reported no injuries from the rocket strikes.

However, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Radio reported that two soldiers were injured, one critically, due to an explosion caused by a Hezbollah-launched drone in Misgav Am.
