Over 4,000 acres of forests, grazing land and nature reserves in northern Israel have been destroyed by fires ignited by Katyusha rockets. Controlling these fires is not a simple task.

As municipal firefighters respond to rocket attacks in cities and towns, Jewish National Fund-Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael forest rangers work to extinguish the fires that are consuming forests planted over 100 years ago. They move from blaze to blaze as rockets fall around them, contending with shrapnel and un-detonated explosives.

The destruction of nearly one million trees has meant the death and displacement of forest-dwelling wildlife.
