Residents in Hebron-area settlement evacuated due to brush fires
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFirefighters are working to extinguish a brush fire near the West Bank settlement of Beit Hagai, south of Hebron.
Authorities have ordered the evacuation of Beit Hagai residents as a precaution, and are shutting of the community’s electric supply as a precaution.
Usually warm temperatures and smoldering remains of Lag B’Omer bonfires have sparked several brush fires across the country, including near the cities of Beit Shemesh and Elad.
