Dozens of wildfires break out as Israel hit by heatwave

Firefighters battle dozens of brush fires across Israel as temperatures soar in a heatwave.

The hottest weather is felt in the center of the country, where the temperatures exceed those in Eilat, Haaretz says.

The Dan region sees temperatures of 39 degrees Celsius, while the Arava in the south and the coastal plain in the center reach 40 degrees — as opposed to the 36 degrees registered in Eilat.
