Firefighters are examining suspicions that the fire in the Ma’ale Hahamisha area started after assailants hurled a Molotov cocktail, the Walla news website reports.

Residents of the outlying homes in the community of Nataf were asked to evacuate their homes, as a large fire blazes near the Jerusalem Hills community.

Earlier, police said no homes in the area were in danger.
