A massive fire is burning in the Dekwaneh area, north of Beirut, according to a Lebanese source reporting on Tuesday evening. The General Directorate of Civil Defense in Lebanon said its personnel are continuing firefighting efforts, noting that the blaze involves electrical cables and tires. The cause of the fire, and any casualties or damage, have not yet been specified. This follows reports of other fires in Lebanon in recent days, including a 'fire belt' along southern Lebanon on Saturday (June 20) and an earlier explosion with visible fire on Friday (June 19). The current fire in Dekwaneh is the most recent in a series of blazes, though its origin and connection, if any, to military activity remain unconfirmed.
