Jerusalem, Israel – As major fires ravaged multiple regions across Israel on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri took to X to demand harsh action against Palestinians he claims are responsible, urging the IDF to “eliminate from the air” those identified as arsonists.
The Shin Bet security agency is investigating the fires’ causes, and several arson suspects were arrested in east Jerusalem and security teams in two other areas arrested suspects in two additional attacks, one in Rosh HaAyin and another in Beit Keshet, a kibbutz in northern Israel.
Deri wrote, “Arsonists during wartime are terrorists in every sense. I call on the prime minister to instruct the IDF to eliminate from the air any terrorist identified as an arsonist.” He further stated, “Whoever starts fires during a heatwave and war — their blood is on their own head. This is a ticking time bomb, just like someone who fires a weapon.”

Hamas posted a message on Telegram on Wednesday urging Palestinains to set fire to “fields, forests, and settlers’ homes.”
Yisrael Ganz, the head of the Yesha and Binyamin Councils, held a situational assessment and ordered a high alert in the area to prevent any arson attempts. Ganz is currently overseeing the evacuation of Mevo Choron, which is on the line of fire in the Jerusalem Hills.
The fire that broke out a week ago near Beit Shemesh is believed to be the result of arson.
Fire chief Eyal Caspi said on Wednesday evening that the fires are expected to last for at least another day.
The Meteorological Service said on Wednesday evening that the severe weather is expected to continue in the coming hours, and the risk of the spread of fires continues to be very high, especially in the center of the country, with an emphasis on the Judean Plains and the Jerusalem Hills – where strong gusts of wind of 60-70 km/h are expected from west to east.
