Firefighters Battle Blaze Near Gush Etzion Settlement
A fire broke out Friday near the settlement of Givat Hachish in the Gush Etzion region of the West Bank. More than ten firefighting teams are on the scene working to contain the blaze and protect the settlement, with additional teams en route. Four firefighting planes from the "Elad" squadron are actively working to demarcate the fire's perimeter, and two more aircraft are heading to the area to assist with aerial suppression efforts.
Police forces from the Etzion station and the Judea region are cooperating with the firefighters to manage traffic and secure the evacuation of the first line of homes, as ordered by the incident commander. The Israeli Fire and Rescue Services confirmed their involvement and coordination with law enforcement.
