Mevaseret residents told to skedaddle as blaze nears homes

Homes in the town of Mevaseret Zion west of Jerusalem are also being evacuated, police say, as the same fire in the Arazim Valley forest outside Ramot also threatens houses there.

Police say there are no injuries from the fires in the Arazim Valley and Gilo.
