A large brush fire driven by strong winds is spreading rapidly near the Israeli Arab village of Ein Mahil (east of Nazareth), threatening homes and olive groves, the Israel Fire and Rescue Services reports. A firefighting aircraft has been dispatched to assist ground crews.
A large brush fire broke out in an open area near the Arab Israeli village of Ein Mahil, the Israel Fire and Rescue Services reported at 16:37. The fire, driven by strong winds, is spreading rapidly on multiple fronts, threatening nearby homes and olive groves. Firefighters from the Nof HaGalil station and other Northern District units are on scene. A firefighting aircraft was dispatched to assist in containment efforts. Incident Commander, Captain Yechiam Logsi, said crews are working under challenging terrain and wind conditions. No casualties have been reported. The cause of the fire is not yet known. This follows a fire near Ein Mahil reported on June 28, and a fast-moving brush fire approaching the village earlier today at 15:44 — both of which The Zioneer covered in their development stages.
