Jerusalem District Fire and Rescue Commander Shmulik Friedman said this is 'possibly the largest fire ever in the country.' He noted that the fire changed direction in the last hour, moving eastward. It is expected to intensify soon with winds of 90-100 km/h. He also mentioned that firefighting aircraft have resumed operations, and when asked about the cause of the fires in the Jerusalem Hills, he responded: 'We have no idea.'
