Firefighters finally control the flames after wildfires ripped through Jerusalem’s hills, but officials warn the real danger isn’t over. With 18 suspects arrested for arson, Israel faces alarming questions about whether enemies are weaponizing fire to attack the Jewish state.
Sources confirm one man was caught red-handed with lighters and flammable materials near the blaze. While some claim “negligent hikers” started the fires, authorities haven’t ruled out coordinated terrorism. The timing during Memorial Day — when Israel honors fallen soldiers — raises suspicions of deliberate acts targeting national unity.
Over 100 fires erupted across the region, forcing families to flee homes as highways turned to ash. Helicopters dumped water on historic forests now reduced to charcoal. Two pregnant women and infants were rushed to hospitals, their lives upended by choking smoke and chaos.
Prime Minister Netanyahu declared a national emergency, begging allies for help as flames threatened critical infrastructure. This crisis hits while Israel fights threats on seven fronts, from Gaza rockets to Iranian proxies. Burned landscapes could become the newest battlefield in a war against those seeking Israel’s destruction.
Palestinian groups have long encouraged “arson intifada” tactics, urging supporters to torch Israeli land. Radicals online celebrate the fires as punishment for Jewish sovereignty. When terrorists can’t breach walls, they attack God’s creation — turning nature into a tool of fear.
Though some media downplay the terrorism angle, patriots know the pattern. First comes lies about “accidents,” then proof of malice. Israel’s enemies exploit Western weakness, hiding behind climate excuses while plotting destruction. Vigilance, not excuses, protects the innocent.
Communities near Jerusalem now sift through ashes, praying their homes survived. This isn’t just about trees — it’s about survival in a region where every flame could mask an enemy’s hand. Freedom-loving nations must stand with Israel against those who burn the land rather than accept peace.
As investigators work, one truth burns clear: Israel remains on the front lines of global terror. From rockets to wildfires, the threats evolve, but the courage to fight back must never die. The homeland God promised His people won’t be stolen by fire or lies.
