Israeli settlements up in flames in occupied northern Palestine

4 Jun 2024 12:12 Host: Al Mayadeen English

Fire flames engulfed Israeli settlements in northern occupied Palestine after heavy bombardment from the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. The Israeli news website Ynet reported that authorities were forced to evacuate settlements in the al-Jalil Panhandle, including the largest settlement, Kiryat Shmona, where they went "house-by-house" ordering evacuations. Likewise, in the occupied Golan and al-Jalil, 15 fire hotspots were reported, as ongoing blazes fueled by high temperatures persistently plagued colonial outposts. Fires were also recorded in Ami'ad to the south of Safad, Metulla, Kfar Giladi, Keren Naftali, Elifelt, Mavo Hama, Netor, Tel Saki, and Shlomi in Western al-Jalil. As a result of the raging fires, Israeli authorities blocked the main road linking the occupied north to the rest of the Israeli-occupied territories.
