Police are assisting fire and rescue forces following several fire outbreaks in the Lachish region near the communities of Kfar Warburg, Shafir and Masuot Yitzhak. Due to concerns about fire spread, access to the Angels Forest has been blocked and visitors are being evacuated from the area to prevent risk to human life. Police emphasized this is a developing situation and have established a command post near Masuot Yitzhak. Concurrent with the Lachish fires, there is a major fire in the Jerusalem Hills, with several additional fire outbreaks in the northern region.
