Es Brent! The Land Has Burned Before — And What We Must Do Now
While the direct perpetrators bear responsibility for their actions, the enabling environment is not created in a vacuum
For over 100 years, Jewish forests, crops, and communities have been deliberately set on fire.
The people who lit those fires bear primary responsibility.
But the conditions that enable, sustain, or fail to deter such incidents frequently originate in internal Israeli dynamics and policy choices.
This is not about externalizing blame.
It’s about fixing what is in our hands.
13 homes burnt, dozens damaged in West Bank settlement as crews battle blaze for 2nd day
Over 100 families said to evacuate homes in Havat Gilad, no casualties reported; probe indicates cigarette caused fire, no other materials found at scene, arson not suspected ???
Fire crews on Sunday continued battling a wildfire that began the day before in the northern West Bank, with emergency services saying the fire destroyed 13 homes and damaged dozens more in the Havat Gilad settlement, and that intensive efforts were still underway to limit the blaze from spreading.
According to the Fire and Rescue service, two firefighters were injured during the firefighting efforts, and were evacuated for medical treatment in moderate and light condition, respectively.
Investigators said that an initial probe indicated that the wildfire was sparked by an unextinguished cigarette butt flicked to the side of a road. Law enforcement was working to track down the vehicle from which it was thrown.
