Estimated 1,700 acres burned in brush fires; efforts to put them out continue
Some 7,000 dunams (1,700 acres) of land have burned in the brush fires near Beit Shemesh and Rehovot, according to an estimation by KKL-JNF Jewish National Fund.
KKL-JNF says its staff are assisting firefighting efforts to put out the blazes and block them from spreading into new areas.
It urges the public to stay away from the Eshtaol Forest, Tzora Forest, Burma Road area, Beit Meir area and Hakdoshim Forest (Forest of the Martyrs).
