Fire Breaks Out at Safed Station in 2022

The video dates back to June 2022 and shows the incident at a bus station in Safed, Israel, where firefighters worked to control the flames and protect nearby parked vehicles. Residents reported waking up in fear from the sounds of explosions as 18 vehicles were destroyed in the suspicious fire.

The Safed Municipality issued a statement indicating that the investigation into the fire was ongoing, with authorities categorizing it as a criminal incident. There were no injuries reported from the blaze.

According to Yedioth Ahronoth, a significant fire erupted late at night at the central station in Safed, occurring two weeks after a similar incident in Kiryat Shmona. Authorities suspect that a gang from Tova-Zangrieh, operating under the guise of a security company while collecting sponsorship fees, may have been behind the arson. The torched buses belonged to a Nazareth-based company that had previously faced intimidation.

Houthis Target Israel With ‘Quds 5’ Rockets

On October 2, Yemen's Houthi forces announced that they targeted military installations deep in Israel using three winged "Quds 5" rockets, as stated by the group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree. However, there was no confirmation from the Israeli military regarding the reported rocket fire from Yemen that day. The Houthis have consistently launched missiles and drones at Israel, claiming these actions are in solidarity with Palestinians since the onset of the war on Gaza.

Saree emphasized that the ongoing support for Israel from the United States and the United Kingdom will put their interests "under fire." He further stated that the Houthis would not hesitate to expand their military operations against Israel and its allies until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon comes to an end.
