Israel Battles Devastating Wildfires
Devastating wildfires erupted across Israel, forcing widespread evacuations and the closure of the main Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway. Hundreds were displaced, and Independence Day celebrations were significantly impacted due to the intense blaze fueled by high winds. Despite the scale of the disaster, firefighters, aided by military and international assistance, successfully reopened the major highway and are working to contain the flames, which some officials believe may have been arson. The fires have resulted in injuries and significant property damage, highlighting the growing threat of climate change.
