BREAKING: Fire near Yitzhar endangers homes

This afternoon (Monda), according to Arutz 7, a fire broke out in a nature preserve near the Yitzhar community, prompting firefighters and volunteers from the Samaria regional station to take action.

The blaze, fanned by local winds, is being contained to prevent it from reaching residential areas.

Yitzhar residents have been dealing with a surge of arson attacks by Arabs from nearby villages, including a recent fire set by Arabs from Urif, which necessitated the use of firefighting planes.
