International Desk: The wildfire in Israeli-occupied West Jerusalem has been brought under control after raging for two days across forested areas.
During the emergency, Israel declared a state of crisis and sought assistance from other countries to extinguish the fire. Firefighters worked continuously for more than 24 hours before successfully containing the flames in the hills of Jerusalem.
Authorities stated that the investigation into the cause of the wildfire will commence now that the situation is under control. Reports indicate that around 5,000 acres of land were affected, including 3,000 acres of forest.
The Jerusalem division’s fire commander previously described the blaze as one of the largest in Israel’s history, expecting it to take extensive time to contain. However, despite earlier concerns, the fire is now under control. Historically, Israel occupied West Jerusalem from Jordan in the Six-Day War of 1967, claiming the entire city as its capital, though the international community does not recognize this claim.
