Homes evacuated in Abu Ghosh, other blazes break out elsewhere
Police say 10 homes in the town of Abu Ghosh, west of Jerusalem, have been evacuated, and that there are fires in the Tzelafon forest southwest of the city.
They also say all roads in Jerusalem that had been closed because of fires have been reopened.
A fire is also being reported near Meron, near the town of Safed in the Galilee, a pilgrimage site visited by hundreds of thousands over the Lag B’aomer holiday Wednesday night and Thursday.
