A large wildfire outside Jerusalem has begun to spread again as the wind picks up, leading police to evacuate some residents of Sho’eva as the blaze nears the community.
Police say a fire near Eitanim hospital has also renewed and that some sections of routes 395 and 3955 have been closed to traffic in both directions.
