Channel 12 said: “The main fire in Jerusalem -Hills, contrary to what Netanyahu said, did not begin to intentionally.”
According to the channel, “according to estimates, it shows that the fire is caused by negligence.”
The channel also explained: “Three arrested had no relations with a fire near Jerusalem.”
Netanyahu said that 18 people were arrested because they were suspected of fire in Jerusalem, and added that one of them was caught in red.
Nevertheless, the Israeli police refused the statement of Netanyahu, confirming that “18 people were not arrested for suspicion of burning in Jerusalem.”
Forest fires that spread to forest areas and large agricultural land in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, even reached the Jordan valley, caused political tension in Israel.
The fire quickly stretched out of high temperatures and strong winds in the forest zone.
The Israeli meteorology agency warned that fires would probably continue to spread from strong winds.
