Direct hits and multiple fires near Highway 90 and Kiryat Shmona following 35 rocket launches from Lebanon; 10 firefighting teams on site; IDF responds with extensive strikes in southern Lebanon, multiple destroying Hezbollah sites

About 35 rockets were fired at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona in a series of barrages from Lebanon Friday evening, causing extensive brushfires. The city reported significant damage to property and infrastructure, with dozens of homes and vehicles affected.

Ten firefighting teams from the Galil-Golan station, assisted by crews from other stations in the northern district, are working to extinguish two major fires in open areas.

"The firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the flames along the residential line, while fire alarms continuously sound in the area. The combination of weather conditions and heavy barrages has led to multiple fire sites—a scenario we were prepared for and responded to with reinforced efforts,” Fire and Rescue Services North District Commander Assistant Deputy Fire Commissioner Yair Elkayam.

But I thought the Arabs were gentle, huddled starving families fleeing the genocidal Israelis.

So now Israelis are again supposed to turn the other cheek or lose American support?

As Laura Ingraham said: What right does Biden have to tell the people of another country how to fight a war to survive against enemies?

Setting fires harms the environment and the smoke and particulates in the air harm the fight against climate change. Somebody tell the college students in the tents about this.

Israel should fight fire with fire with a few thermobaric explosives in the Bekaa Valley and Coastal Strip.

But Biden just approved sending weapons to Lebanon, this very yesterday!

So everything must be just fine and there’s nobody behind the curtain
