Police on Wednesday evacuated multiple communities, following the reigniting of last week's forest fire in Eshta'ol in five separate locations: Route 3, which has been closed to traffic; Canada Park; Neve Shalom; Mesilat Zion; and Mitzpeh Harel.

The decision to evacuate was made due to the complex conditions on the ground, including strong winds and active fires which threaten to spread to populated areas. Later, Latrun was also evacuated.

Just prior to noon, the Fire and Rescue Service ordered Kibbutz Nachshon's residents to evacuate. As of 2:20 p.m., the list of evacuated communities included: Neve Shalom, Beko'a, Mitzphe Harel, Mesilat Zion, Tarum, Ta'oz, and Nachshon, as well as the Latrun and Canada Park sites.

Twelve people have suffered smoke inhalation.

Around 10:30, the Fire and Rescue Forces declared an emergency and called up all firefighting teams from across the country, due to the severity and scope of the fire.

Around 120 firefighting teams are at the site, aided by 15 firefighting aircraft which were called to the scene to help gain control of the flames. Additional teams are on their way.

Our youngest son was going to come to us from Jerusalem for a holiday visit, but the trains have been shut down, so he couldn't make it. He had to go back home from the station.

Sorry to hear that. It’s so disappointing when something disrupts family get-together. Prayers for all those affected by the fire and the brave firefighters.

“Due to heavy winds, Minister Miri Regev announced that the state opening ceremony for Israel’s Independence Day would be canceled and instead the general rehearsal that was filmed this week will be broadcast.”

Winds are up to 60 mph and variable from southern Lebanon to Jerusalem area as hot, dry season starts. National disaster. Likely arson.

If arson, the “Free Palestine” crowd doesn’t care much for their supposed country. It took over a century of planting and cultivating to bring back the forests, and with them watersheds and soil preservation. They want the sh!t-hole back that they didn’t care to live in until Baron Benjamin Edmond de Rothschild and others started financing the repopulating and reclamation projects in the late 19th Century. D!ckheaded Harv-tards don’t care about that. It’s just the pose du jour and a desire to make their campuses Judenrein.

Ack, thus cross-linking with May Day (mayday)

Per Israel Real Time Whatsapp group, it is definitely arson, with harangues from “Hamas and Arab channels”.

Stay safe and take good care out there!

Here’s a good word for you and yours (מזל mazal = 77), that

Israel at “77” transcends destructive fire:

עַז

Meaning
strong, mighty; intense

I can smell the burning when I go outside to the street. But I have bigger problems. My wife saw a little white lizard in the apartment, and she is terrified. LOL.
