Brush fires break out near Ashkelon
Brush fires are also being reported in the area around Ashkelon, Channel 10 news says.
The holiday of Lag B’Omer, traditionally marked with bonfires, is combining with hot and dry weather to make Israel’s scrub land especially combustible, though it’s not clear how the fires near Ashkelon started.
