Israel declared a national emergency amid fast-spreading wildfires and has requested help from several countries.
At least 12 people suffered from suffocation on Wednesday as fires swept through the mountains surrounding occupied Jerusalem, according to Israeli media.
The Palestinian Authority reportedly offered to assist in extinguishing the fires, though Israel has not responded to the proposal.
The Israeli government has sought support from five countries, including Cyprus, Greece, Croatia, and Italy.
Video footage circulating online shows flames approaching a major road in Jerusalem, with aircraft deployed to contain the blaze.

Israel’s Channel 12 reported that air force planes were dispatched to aid in firefighting efforts, while a military unit was placed on high alert to rescue individuals trapped by the fires. Military fire trucks were also deployed to the scene.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that at least “110 firefighting squads and 10 aircraft were called to the Eshtaol Forest area near Jerusalem”.
The Israeli police announced the evacuation of several areas, including Neve Shalom, Nachshon, Bekoa and Latrun.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the situation as a “national emergency” and instructed all available resources to be mobilized. He also directed Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to support firefighting teams on the ground.
The fires, intensified by high temperatures and strong winds, have broken out in several areas between occupied Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Let them have a taste of their own poison for burning Palestinians alive while sleeping in rugged tents. Both Benjamin Mileikowsky and Trump stated that they are going to “unleash hell on the Middle-East”. A few weeks later, both US and the zios declared “national emergency” because of widespread fires. Fate can be rather ironic.

“PA offered to assist in extinguishing the fires”
Just mere fires yet besieged babies, children, women, elderly and non combatants are starving and being bombed in tents every day in Gaza not to mention
hospitals, schools and other facilities constantly under fire yet no one is offering to help.
Since PA are with US and Israel, it’s not unexpected they keep extending hand of friendship, support and collaboration.
And it’s not unexpected that supports are getting to the besieged Palestinians from ALLAH via the most unexpected sources since no help coming from both Muslim and Arab world.
PA has further assured us of this ongoing tragedy with their utterances and actions.
ONLY ALLAHS HELP WILL COME TO LIBERATE PALESTINE.RIGHT NOW THE ONLY PRACTICAL HELP IS
FROM THE ONLY COMMITTED MUSLIMS OF HAMAS ALLIANCE HIZBULLAH HOUTHIS PMU IRGC-FORGET THE REST OF ZIONIST MUSLIM LEADERS
PA, like any other entity, has a choice to either be in the good books of US&Israel and be doomed or fulfil their Creator’s obligations appropriately and be saved.
We all have a choice.
It seems they, the PA, have made their choice. And yes, it is sickening that the Palestinians in Gaza are in a famine situation, bombed constantly, burned alive, and they offer to help save a park that was built on stolen Palestinian land. They disgust me! As do all complicit in this genocide.
Israel seeking fire saving supports from some countries to stop the fire yet denying entry of life saving supports to the besieged people of Palestine?
I don’t want to belief that Palestine neighbors would rather help facilitate delivery of supports and even arms to Israel and continue to watch Palestinians being starved by Zionist militias renamed IDF.
All those acres of European pine trees planted by the white colonizers upon the bones of the Palestinian towns burn very well, don’t they?
Which destroyed villages will the fires expose?
What can we expect from the Palestinian Authority? It is a Quisling Authority, the Palestinian’s Vichy regime.
The major task of overthrowing Zionism must involve the overthrow of these quislings and the quisling Arab regimes
Allah acts in mysterious ways!
Let Israel and Israelis burn!
Give the Israelis a taste of their own medicine for burning Innocent Palestinian men, women and children who were sheltering in tents!
Israelis, leave Palestine now – Palestine is not your land! Go back to Europe where you came from!
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
To me, I don’t wish death to peace loving Israelis. I wish them to live longer to witness peace although strongly advising them to exit all illegally built settlements in Palestine.
But I don’t mind fires be it wild or friendly or worse coming all out for the criminals that are all out to kill peace.
If those criminals change not their doomed path and keep frustrating peace, they would soon end up in pieces.
Put simply, if they don’t want peace they would end up in pieces.
Praying ALLAH azza wajal save all the oppressed people and good people.
Netanyahu with US support is far from past Pharaoh and farther away from future Dajjal.
I would rather chose their man made hell than taste real hell.
I hope the dome of the rock and al aqsa burn in this fires first
Zionist wishful thinking that will never come true. Just like “israel”.
Wildfires punishment from ALLAH the cause is Gaza the end of the war in Gaza immediately to avoid wildfires fires tornadoes strong earthquake tsunami meteor power outage in Israel.
‘the palestinian authority offered to assist’
Well done Abbas, you’re the St. Bernard of all dogs in the sunni arab world.
With apologies to any offended St. Bernards.
