The fires that have burned across the Zionist entity since Tuesday raged on Thursday with new areas threatened by flames as other blazes have come under control.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said Wednesday that they would ask Greece, Croatia, Cyprus and possibly Turkey to send firefighting aircraft overnight to help Israeli crews subdue brush fires that continue to rage around the occupied territories.
On Thursday, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan told Army Radio that fifty percent of these fires were caused by repeated arson.
Erdan was due to meet with the pilots who came from Greece overnight to assist in fighting the fire.
Occupation police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said multiple investigations have been opened to determine if the fires were triggered by weather conditions or “foul play”.
