Israel Dispatched Fire Brigades to Extinguish Fires in All Parts of Palestine

The Israeli authorities have dispatched dozens of fire brigades to extinguish fires that broke out across all parts of occupied Palestine.

Yedioth Ahronoth, an Israeli daily newspaper revealed the Meteorological Office in Israel warned today, Monday, of possibilities of fires due to the freak temperature across the country.

The newspaper said that fires broke out in a forest at Ramat Beit Shemesh.

Seven fire brigades are working at the site in an attempt to check the fires and civilian population was evacuated from the scene and streets leading to the site were sealed to the traffic.

At another time, locals lodged a complaint with police on a big fire guts Tzura forest in Al-Quds (known as Jerusalem in Israeli and Western sources).

Eyal Cohen, assistant commander of fire brigades in Jerusalem, said fire devoured trees and then extended to the neighboring houses that may threaten many people in the area.

He indicated that no causalities were registered but prosperity was damaged there.

Before a short time, five fire brigades were called to the south part of Israel to put off fires there and the highway that links the middle of Israel to Beersheba in the south.

Police have started evacuating the local population to the vicinity areas.

Another part of that highway near the coastal city of Ashdod is closed due to a fire.

Fire brigades were sent to stop the fire from extending to the neighboring districts.

Three fires broke out in   Kiryat Malachi town and planes were sent to extinguish the fires.

In Haifa, a coastal city next to the Mediterranean Sea located in the north of Isreal, firemen struggled to stop fires from devouring more houses.

More fire brigades and planes were dispatched to many areas to extinguish fires there.
