Fire breaks out in northern Israel from interceptor missile

Another fire broke out in a forest in northern Israel on Tuesday caused by an interceptor missile, Israeli media has reported.

A suspected drone infiltration from Lebanon had set off air defences north of Safed earlier on Tuesday.

Shrapnel from the interception caused the fire but rescue teams were quickly dispatched to contain the fire.

Massive fires engulfed large areas in northern Israel for hours on Monday night caused by the ongoing fighting between Hezbollah and Israel.
