Some 100 families are evacuated from the area. At least three firefighting squads are battling the blaze.
Kiryat Arba is the third reported site of a brush fire today. A fire near the Yishai military base north of Maaleh Adumim saw flames reach an ammunition depot, causing explosions. A fire was also reported earlier today in southern Jerusalem.
