A major fire broke out in Al-Manara near Mais Al-Jabal village close to the Lebanese-Palestinian borders. This led to the explosion of eight mines left behind by the Israeli occupation upon withdrawal from this area.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported that fire brigades and civil defense units are trying to put the fire out before it spreads to more areas and other mines explode.
Another enormous fire erupted in Badba town in Al-Kora in Northern Lebanon, burning a wide area of land covered with dry grass , pine and olive trees, and threatening the houses around.
