Hezbollah rockets have sparked days of bushfires in northern Israel, with swathes of forest reserve destroyed and 11 people hospitalised for smoke inhalation.

Patches of scorched earth start to appear half an hour out from the Lebanon border, plumes of grey smoke mapping the route to either side across the hills.

Local residents in Israel’s largely-deserted northern communities, have been battling scattered fires for several weeks. One member of a civil defence team said there had been 15-16 fires in the area since then. But high temperatures over the past few days have led to a sharp increase.

Firefighters on Monday battled for 20 hours to put out fires around the town of Kiryat Shmona.

The fires – which forest administrators say have so far burned through 3,500 acres of land – are fuelling fresh demands that Israel’s government take steps to end the escalating conflict with Hezbollah on its northern front.

Israel’s war cabinet was due to meet on Tuesday evening to discuss the worsening security situation along its northern border. Israel and Hezbollah have been trading cross-border fire on a near daily basis since last October and recent weeks have seen an escalation in the intensity of attacks.

Residents of one kibbutz said the Hezbollah rocket attacks were “definitely” linked to Israel’s actions in Gaza, and that since the Israeli military's ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah began, three or four rockets were flying over their houses every day.

Tens of thousands of residents, evacuated from the area after the Hamas attacks on Israel, are still waiting to return to their homes. But government deadlines to secure these areas keep slipping.

Many of these displaced residents see a ceasefire in Gaza as the key to calming the situation in the north.

But Israel’s far-right security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, visiting firefighters in the nearby town of Kiryat Shmona today, said the government’s response to Hezbollah’s rockets should be war.

“No peace in Lebanon while our land is being targeted,” he said.

Herzl Halevi, Israel’s army chief of staff, also visiting the region, said the country was “approaching the point where a decision will have to be made.”

The Israel Defence Force, he said, was “prepared and ready to move to an offensive.”

Hezbollah’s deputy chief, Sheikh Naim Qassem, told Al-Jazeera that the group was not seeking to widen the conflict with Israel but that any Israeli expansion of the war would be met “with devastation”.

The government has been keen to contain this conflict on its northern border, aware that Hezbollah is a better-trained and better-equipped enemy than Hamas – and that fighting here would be a very different kind of war.

But the fires have put this grinding forgotten conflict squarely on the front pages of national newspapers, and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under fresh pressure to act.

He and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza are already at the centre of delicate negotiations over a potential ceasefire and hostage exchange deal in Gaza, which US President Joe Biden is pushing both sides to accept.

I don't think this is the result Israel was expecting. Now they are in a mess where they to live up to the lies the threw in the past before social media. They were banking on sympathy of the world so they could act inhumanely perhaps use nuke. Sm ruined it anyway. The last nail to their coffin of disgrace and disaster is when Iran lunched missiles from their territory to Israel and nothing happened up till today.

You have a point. They went to Gaza to rescue Israeli hostages and destroy Hamas.. Hamas dey no see, hostages dey no see to rescue hence we're seeing the indiscriminate killing of civilians. Iran showed massive ball when they fired those missiles.

Almost the world nations are fighting war. Be it internal war or external.

May God restore peace to the world.

Not a single Iranian missile landed in Israel, yet Israel covertly killed their president after pricing them earlier by bombing their embassy(dey whine ). Israel is fighting terrorist on 3 fronts- Iran Qad/Syria; Hezbollah/Lebanon; Hamas/Gaza & winning. Abeg give it up for Israel dem no be ur mate. One mumu say hezbollah fit wipe Israel out dey play

Israel is a Godforsaken evil nation that must be taught a bitter lesson

The family of the dead Iranian President won't agree with you.

Let them keep it up so that israel will have enough reason to continue to bombard them.

Nope. Hezbollah has weapons to cause harm. Israel has weapons to completely destroy Lebanon.
Hezbollah must be careful, even as current international sentiments weigh against the Israeli destruction in Gaza, caused by the wrong and careless move of Hamas in October last year.

Hezbollah don start their own, clowns will not warn them. When Israel responds, they will start wailing.

They got money for wars but they cannot feed the poor…

After showing balls, what happened to Iranian President?

That's how you people will keep pushing Iran just how you pushed Hamas.

War does no one any good.

I hope you would not complain and shed crocodile tears if Israel would have an upper hand tomorrow.

Oh, the irony! Our friend here is suddenly concerned about caution and civilian casualties now that Hezbollah has decided to play a game of "attack Israel". But where was this concern when Israel was being bombarded? And now, he's calling for restraint? Awesome.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah continues to be the poster child for "ragtag terrorism". And let's not forget, when Israel decides to defend itself, our friend will be the first to cry "genocide" while conveniently ignoring the actual terrorists. What a two-faced gem we have here! Please, do go on with your selective outrage. We can't wait to hear your next lecture on "peace" and "human rights" while you simultaneously support Hamas's antics.

Their sympathizers will soon cry blood when IDF is done with them

Israel please when you are done with the infidels...we need your presence in Nigeria to help clear our political terrorist in power both with their supporters

hmm

This Armageddon war should be fought once and for all, make everybody rest. If that will be the end of religion, so be it.

Uhm
