A large portion of Karkhe national park in Kuzestan province of Iran that is one of the last remaining home of the extremely endangered Iranian deer was burned during the last few days forest fires.

It is a huge loss for the wildlife conservation in the country and west Asia.

Israeli right-wing outlets are calling for war in Lebanon after Hezbollah's strikes in northern Israel.

  • "The north is burning, and with it is the Israeli Deterrence Force, and this is a Government without a strategy." – Yair Lapid, Israeli Politician and current Leader of Opposition.

  • "The fires in northern Israel are evidence of bankruptcy and the continuation of the containment policy, and it is time for Lebanon to burn." – Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli Minister of National Security.

  • Fires have been spreading massively across northern Israel for the last 12 hours. It has yet to be extinguished.

  • A state of emergency has been declared in northern Israel as a result of the firestorm created by Hezbollah strikes.

  • Israeli Media: 'Hezbollah has created an uninhabitable zone of fire in the North; we must go to war in Lebanon as soon as possible, or the Galilee will be at risk of becoming a permanent no-go zone'

Sicily travel warning: Wildfires force evacuation of tourists and transport disruption

The heatwave that has been scorching southern Europe has increased the risk of fires and heat-related deaths in Italy.

Wildfires have been raging across the Italian island of #Sicily, spread by strong winds and arid conditions.

The blazes have forced residents and tourists to evacuate and caused severe public transport disruption.

#Palermo Airport, which services the island’s capital, was forced to close early on Tuesday morning after fires broke out nearby.

Catania Airport, where an accidental fire damaged a terminal building earlier this month, remains partially closed leading to fears of huge economic losses from tourism.

A north wind and #Ottawa is once again "smoked out" today, due to forest fires burning in #Quebec. The photo shows the morning sun in the smokey sky. Visibility is 3 miles (5 km) in #smoke, so have to stay indoors today with the windows all closed, as the smoke is quite toxic.

In the forest in northern Iran, there are more plastic garbage than trees and plants.

It is just sad to see how disgusting people are when it comes to taking care of the nature in #Iran.

The plastic, not only cause pollution and harms the nature, but also works as extra fuel to forest fires that are now parts of the daily life in Iran.

That and out of control deforestation is destroying one of the few green patches on the map of #Iran!
