What would the Israelis say about the fires brought about by Hezbollah?
“Nearly 15,000
acres of land in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights have been burnt in
wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket barrages.
The Israeli government on Sunday approved a proposal
to purchase around 200 fire trucks for northern communities.
The 50-million-shekel ($13.4 million) plan would see
the purchase of 40 vans and 150 all-terrain vehicles to be deployed with
volunteer firefighting teams.
Nearly 15,000 acres of land in the Upper Galilee and
Golan Heights have been burnt in wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket barrages
in 2024, according to the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.
The authority noted that 75% of the damage took place
during the first two weeks of June.
Around 60,000 Israelis living in northern communities
were forced to evacuate in October when the Hezbollah terror organization began
daily rocket and drone attacks. Leaders of the Iran-backed terror group have
said they will continue the attacks to prevent Israelis from returning to their
homes. Since October 7, the Hezbollah attacks have killed 10 civilians and 14
soldiers.
Israeli officials
have been calling for Hezbollah to be disarmed and removed from Southern
Lebanon in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the
2006 Second Lebanon War.”
