A fire that raged along Israel’s border with Lebanon on Friday appears to be the work of Hezbollah operatives, according to a report by Israel’s Channel 12 news.

Strong winds spread the flames, which almost reached an Israel Defense Forces’ base and the village of Margaliot.

With the attack, Hezbollah is apparently mimicking the numerous arson attacks that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have launched against Israel in the south.

According to Channel 12, U.N. vehicles passed through the area at the time the fires were set and reportedly did nothing to stop the operatives or put out the fires.

“In our region, Israel alone protects our Christian community which is growing and prospering,” said the Israeli premier.
Of these, 138 remain hospitalized, with the ministry urging non-emergency cases to use urgent care centers to ease hospital crowding.
Protesters outside the building were heard chanting “the Zionist embassy.”

Qassem Soleimani’s niece has reportedly expressed support for the Iranian regime on social media.
Israel’s ambassador to Canada called on the country’s leaders to “immediately take all necessary measures to thwart this ticking bomb.”
