‘National Emergency’: Suspected Arson-Terror Fires Engulfs Israel As Independence Day Events Canceled - Worthy Christian News

  • On April 30, 2025, massive wildfires erupted near Jerusalem and other parts of Israel, prompting a national emergency declaration.
  • A combination of extreme heat, strong winds, and a dry winter created highly flammable conditions, while authorities detained a man in his fifties from East Jerusalem on suspicion of attempted arson.
  • The fires spread rapidly, forcing evacuations of multiple communities, road closures including all access to Jerusalem, and the cancellation of Israel’s 77th Independence Day main events nationwide.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and fire officials highlighted the challenges posed by weather conditions in battling the flames, with Netanyahu emphasizing that the situation has escalated to a crisis affecting the entire nation, not just a local area.
  • The fires resulted in at least 23 treated injuries including pregnant women and infants, widespread property damage, international aid pledges, and ongoing investigations into suspected terrorism-related arson.
