From tomorrow to Saturday extreme heat wave conditions characterized by heat and dry winds will prevail. "Pursuant to the Fire and Rescue guidance, we urge you not to light fire in open areas and nature reserves until the heat dissipates.

"We also emphasize that maintenance work involving fire or open flame should not be performed, which can cause sparks. Firefighting and rescue forces in Israel are prepared and deployed in increased force. In case of fire, fire fighters must be called immediately at 102."
