Firefighters contain blaze near Jerusalem

Firefighters manage to contain a blaze near the village of Aminadav southwest of Jerusalem.

Seven teams worked to contain the forest fire, the latest in a series of fires to hit Jerusalem’s forests in recent weeks as the country is hit by multiple summer heatwaves.

Police are searching for evidence to determine if the fires are occurring naturally, or are the result of arson.
