- Firefighters are still working to extinguish a large fire at a waste site in Isfiya.
- No immediate danger to residents has been reported by fire services.

- Two unrelated fatal fires occurred earlier in the week in Rishon LeZion and Holon.
Thirteen firefighting teams are still working Sunday morning at the waste site in the local council of Isfiya in the north, where a massive fire broke out on Saturday. The blaze has not yet been extinguished, with flames and heavy smoke still present. The Israel Fire and Rescue Services stated that there is no immediate danger to residents in the area, and contingency plans are in place to address potential worsening conditions due to weather. Containment lines have been established around the dump site to prevent its spread, and police are managing traffic in the vicinity while monitoring the forces' operations. The article also mentions two separate fatal fires from earlier in the week: a man died in his car on Wednesday during a fire at a residential building parking lot in Rishon LeZion, and a woman in her 40s perished in a fire in Holon last week. In both cases, paramedics pronounced the victims dead at the scene, and investigations were opened, though no criminal foul play was suspected.
