Hey, I’m just saying. I’ve seen hundreds of not thousands of photos of Israel and the Holy Land over many years and not one of them had a forest in it. Matter of fact most everything looked like desert. Maybe I didn’t see the forests for the trees. LOL

Any celebrations in the West Bank or Gaza? According to breaking news, those on the bus were all guards.

The Jerusalem Post has a video. It reminds me of Joel's prophecy, about fire and pillars of smoke, and the sun turned into darkness (Joel 2:30-31).

Is this anywhere near the dome of the rock?

Still raging....may keep going all the way to the Mediterranean. US Forest Service charters 747 to fly fire retardant. France, Greece, Turkey sending fire-fighting aircraft.

From Ynet:

"Israeli authorities are expecting to receive more than 20 firefighting aircraft Thursday night from Britain, France, Romania, Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Croatia, Azerbaijan and Russia to help in the effort to contain the northern blaze.....

40 prison guards burned to death... the poor guys never stood a chance. It will be a sad Hanukkah in Israel. They’re trying to stop fire at Highway Four on the mountain range and firefighters are overworked.

I pray for them and mourn for the dead.

Haven't read all replies. Please forgive if this link has already been posted:

Fire or a massacre,INN News/Artuz Sheva

Seems libbies and haters are calling Israel as "ill prepared," and already MSM has come to the conclusion ruling out arson or terror and blaming solely on Israeli incompetence. Figures, guess I should be shocked. Prayers to all surviving families,friends and acquaintances in this tragedy. A pox the MSM/Islamic hatred propaganda machine.
