A large fire raged this morning in the Emek Sarah Industrial Area in Be'er Sheva. Measures are being taken to ensure that the fire does not spread to nearby warehouses storing chemical materials.
The brush fire that broke out near the northern town of Shazor, east of Carmiel, has now spread far enough to threaten homes in the Jewish community of Charashim, and residents there have been told to prepare for possible evacuation. Five firefighting crews are attempting to extinguish the blaze, and at least 200 dunams of forest have already been destroyed.
