Sheli Ben Yishai, director of the Golan region of the Jewish National Fund (JNF), conducted a tour for journalists today and revealed the dimensions of the ecological disaster in the north.

Since the beginning of the war, at least 25 thousand dunams have caught fire, verified as unnatural fires, and to this number we need to add another thousand dunams of forest in the military area on the border of Lebanon, to which there is no access. For comparison, during the entire Second Lebanon War, approximately 8,000 dunams burned.

For comparison's sake, in an average year, between 1500-2500 dunams of forest are burned in the Galilee-Golan area. During the 2010 Mount Carmel forest fire, between 30,000 and 35,000 dunams burned, according to estimates. This number has already been surpassed, if the areas on the Lebanese border are included.
