A large fire broke out on Saturday in an open area behind the "Big Fashion" shopping complex in the town of Yarka, in northern Israel. Fire and rescue teams are currently working to extinguish the flames and prevent their spread.

Strong winds in the area are reportedly fanning the blaze, bringing the flames dangerously close to nearby residential buildings. Firefighting efforts have been intensified to protect residents and property, according to Kaid Zahir, spokesperson for the Fire and Rescue Authority.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the relevant authorities.
