Residents evacuated in Jezreel Valley as fire spreads in West Bank, ignites firefighting truck

Wildfires erupted in the West Bank and northern Israel, forcing evacuations and damaging property. Two major fires, one in Samaria and another in the Jezreel Valley, burned approximately 13 homes, damaged vehicles, and ignited a firefighting truck. Strong winds accelerated the spread of the flames into residential areas, prompting authorities to evacuate residents and block highways. Firefighters, supported by helicopters and aircraft, worked to contain the blazes, with multiple fire departments and emergency services deployed across several locations. While no serious injuries were reported, some residents were treated for smoke inhalation. Authorities emphasized that there was no immediate danger to residential communities, though precautionary measures were taken.
