Last night, the Akkar region witnessed a series of simultaneous fires, raising suspicions that they may have been deliberately set. The Civil Defense and the first responders team of the Municipal Union of Jurd al-Qayta worked alongside the Lebanese Army to extinguish the fire that broke out after midnight in the forests of Harouza in the Qammoua area above the town of Fneidq, which continued until the early morning hours. A similar fire broke out shortly after midnight in the Mount Mansoura area within the border town of Mashta Hammoud, and the Civil Defense managed to control it, in addition to similar fires in the outskirts of the town of Qbayat and in the town of Lahièche in Wadi Khaled.
