Firefighters say they are battling a quickly spreading brushfire on the outskirts of Nazareth in the country’s north.
A spokesperson says 10 crews and four firefighting planes have been called in to contain the blaze that broke out in a forest between the Nazareth suburb of Yafia and the nearby kibbutz of Kfar Hahoresh, where flames are threatening to spread to homes.
“The fire is spreading at several different points in an area with complex topography,” Nof Hagalil fire chief Ofer Edri says in a statement.
