Three fires broke out on Tuesday, one near Netanya and two in the West Bank, though one of the latter two has been brought under control.
A field of thorns caught fire near the town of Haniel near Netanya. Six firefighting crews from Netanya arrived to fight the flames and have evacuated the first row of homes in the town. The fire has been contained.
A fire broke out in two locations in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc. Two Elad firefighting jets were sent to fight the blazes, and are accompanied by backup.
Later on Tuesday, it was announced that the blaze had been brought under control.
Another fire was started in Migdal Oz as the result of Molotov cocktails thrown at the fence by neighboring Palestinians, according to Army Radio.
