Since the onset of summer, Hezbollah has intensified its assault from southern Lebanon, with a relentless barrage of rockets setting northern Israel ablaze. Each day, between 20 to more than 150 rockets and drones are launched, igniting open fields, agricultural lands, and rural areas. These attacks, exacerbated by strong summer winds, have sparked widespread fires across forests and communities, directly threatening the lives and livelihoods of residents in Israel’s northern region.

In just the past two months, these rocket-induced fires have devastated hundreds of acres, leaving homes reduced to ashes and communities in peril. Firefighting efforts are critically undermined by a shortage of resources, with many affected areas being difficult to reach with traditional firefighting equipment.
Responding to this dire emergency, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), in partnership with the Galila Foundation, is urgently raising funds to bolster firefighting capabilities. Our goal is to equip 33 rural communities, largely in the Golan Heights, an area frequently targeted by these rocket attacks, with comprehensive firefighting kits.
Each community needs a kit costing $11,000 to effectively combat these fires. We aim to raise $363,000 to ensure every community is prepared to tackle these emergencies head-on.

This initiative, in full cooperation with local communities and led by the Golan Regional Council, is vital for the immediate and ongoing safety of all residents in these exposed areas. Your immediate support is crucial in helping mitigate this life-threatening situation.
