AL-QUDS (Dispatches) -- A large brushfire broke out Tuesday on the outskirts of Jerusalem Al-Quds close to a number of settler units, forcing the evacuation of dozens of Zionists.
Despite the ongoing heatwave, the local fire chief said the blaze was likely started by people rather than the weather. Six firefighting planes dumped retardant on the flames as 11 firefighter units worked to contain the blaze, which was approaching the community of Shoresh, about five kilometers west of Jerusalem.
