Fires broke out in northern Israel on June 5, 2024, following a surge of rocket and drone attacks from Lebanon. The intensity of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah had intensified in recent days, with both sides launching retaliatory strikes across the border. According to reports, at least two drones carrying explosives were intercepted by Israeli forces, while another one fell in the Israeli coastal city of Nahariya, causing a fire but no injuries. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for these attacks and said they were a response to recent IDF strikes in southern Lebanon that left several Hezbollah members dead. The fires consumed an estimated 400 hectares of land in the Mount Adir area and the northern kibbutz of Amiad, prompting evacuations in Kiryat Shmona due to the danger posed by the flames. Israeli authorities reported that seven victims were brought to Galilee Medical Center and another two lightly injured Israelis were brought to Ziv Hospital for treatment. The IDF carried out strikes against a series of Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon throughout the day, including Hezbollah infrastructure, buildings used by the terror group, and an observation post. Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis. The terror group has increasingly been using explosive-laden drones in these attacks alongside anti-tank guided missiles and barrages of rockets. So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in 10 civilian deaths on the Israeli side and the deaths of 14 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries reported. Israel has expressed openness to a diplomatic solution to the conflict but has threatened to go to war against Hezbollah if necessary.
Despite these tensions, some residents in the affected areas were using unconventional methods to fight the fires caused by rocket attacks. In Kibbutz Malkiya, for instance, residents were using gardening tools and three rusty water-trucks to contain the blazes. The fires had consumed approximately 4,000 dunams (1,000 acres or 400 hectares) of land in northern Israel.
The situation along the Israeli-Lebanese border remained volatile as both sides continued to exchange fire and accusations. It was crucial for all parties involved to exercise caution and avoid further escalation that could lead to a larger conflict.
