Firefighters: Situation developing as expected
The Haifa firefighting services spokesman says the events are developing as expected. "There are local blazes in areas where the fire has yet to be contained. Sometimes our intervention is needed and sometimes it isn't," said Hezy Levy.
Firefighters operating near the Hai-Bar animal and nature reserve received reinforcement after running out of water. Additional blazes were reported near the communities of Nir Etzion and Usfiya and west of Dalyat al-Carmel. (Ahiya Raved)
