Beirut, Lebanon: Israeli strikes Saturday on southern Lebanon sparked massive wildfires, state media and a first responder said, the latest fallout from escalating cross-border violence involving Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, has traded near-daily fire with Israeli forces in the eight months since the Gaza war began.
The deadly clashes have intensified in recent weeks, causing multiple brush fires on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border.
Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) said on Saturday that "Israeli artillery bombarded today the outskirts of the town of Alma al-Shaab with incendiary phosphorus shells, causing fires in the forests that spread to the vicinity of some homes".
It added that the fire had reached "large areas of olive trees".
