Dozens of firefighting squads are trying to extinguish a forest fire that broke out in the north near the town of Yarka and is quickly approaching residents’ homes.
The blazes have so far consumed a wooden structure, and firefighters are working to prevent them from reaching the first line of houses in the village, the Fire and Rescue Service says.
The 24 squads are being assisted by JNF-KKL firefighters and four firefighting planes, the agency adds.
