Israel Fire and Rescue Services have dispatched 18 firefighting crews to a large brush fire south of Moshav Elifelet in the Galilee, the fire service reported at 11:37 Jerusalem. The blaze, driven by strong winds and dry vegetation, is spreading in several hotspots and threatens a nearby military base. Incident commander Fire Chief Roi Finish earlier stated crews were working to block the fire front and protect base infrastructure. The fire service did not immediately provide updated containment figures or indicate whether evacuations have been ordered. As The Zioneer reported on June 5, a similar six-crew response to a brush fire near Elifelet was contained without structure damage.
