Week 34 & Israel on fire

Hi,
The weather is dry, it is the end of November and there was still no significant rain here, nor will be in the near future. It only makes the fire here spread more quickly around .

Near Dolev, where Atzva parents live, those fires are a yearly thing. Most probably from Arabs that ignite them. This week the fire didn’t stop and was close to burn Atzva parents house . All over the west bank those fires consume a hugh amount of fire and threatened to burn settlements and villages.

But the most frightening area was Haifa. What I love about Haifa is how you can feel inside a forest while you are in the middle of the city. That what made the burning damage so much: over 30,000 people were evacuated and over 700 apartments were burned

But there were more fires all around Israel. People already looking on how can be blamed. It is no doubt some of those fire are terror attacks, but some are accidents. Just look on how many fire there are around us and you can understand it.

We were supposed to see our parents, or go visit friend in Haifa but with all those fires made us stay at home. It isn’t only the fear of fire itself, but also the air pollution.

Take Care
