Israel declares state of emergency with ‘largest ever’ wildfires raging out of control towards Jerusalem

by

Israel declared a national emergency as the largest wildfires in the country’s history continued to rage out of control.

The Fire and Rescue Service’s Jerusalem District commander said firefighters had a long way to go before they could contain the blazes, which started near Mesilat Zion, west of Jerusalem, yesterday morning.

Shmulik Friedman said conditions could get even worse due to strong winds which could reach speeds of up to 100 kilometres an hour.
