Homes evacuated as forest fire nears Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe huge forest fire on Jerusalem’s western outskirts leads to the closure of roads and limited evacuations from residential neighborhoods that border on the Jerusalem Forest.
Residents are being evacuated on Rachel Hameshoreret and Haarazim streets in the Beit Hakerem neighborhood, and a preschool is evacuated near Mount Herzl as firefighters battle to stop the blaze’s advance eastward into the city.
