WhatsappAn inferno is raging out of control near the community of Beit Meir, just 15 minute outside of Jerusalem as a result of a suspected Arab nationalist arson attack. The video below was taken from a community in the Judean Hills 45 minutes to an hour drive away from the fire! Yet, look at that sky filled with the smoke from the fire from far away!!!
As in the case of many similar fires in the last few weeks, most officials now admit that these sorts of fires appear to be anything but natural. However, as to not alarm anyone, the official have stopped short of calling them arson attacks.
Yet the pattern is clear, a group of fire terrorists have spent the summer setting whole areas of the Land of Israel on fire, putting whole communities in danger. Just like terror balloons sent in from Gaza, these forest fires are far more effective than guns or bombs. The government just has no way to stop them.
Today’s fire is so massive and the winds are so erratic, Israel was forced to evacuate multiple communities in and around the area.
The Jerusalem branch of the Fire Fighters & Rescue Forces announced that, “A fire has broken out in the region of the town of Beit Meir. Homes have been evacuated.”
“Fire fighters from the Jerusalem region are currently working to contain the fire and residents of Shaked Street have been evacuated out of concern that the blaze will reach their homes. The fire is spreading rapidly due to strong winds prevailing.”
“Eight fire-fighting aircraft have been deployed and are dropping fire-retarding substances beyond the first line of housing in order to prevent the fire from reaching the town. Additional fire fighting teams are on their way to the scene; as of now, the fire has yet to be brought under control.”
