Israel's Route 443 was closed to traffic Thursday morning due to a wildfire in the area of the Maccabim checkpoint. The blaze is now spreading west in the direction of a commercial center in the city of Modi'in. Two firefighting helicopters have been sent into the air and six firefighting teams are operating in the area. The residents of several streets in the city have been instructed to stay in their homes. For more details on the alleged terror-by-arson with over 200 wildfires in Israel over the past two days, see DEBKAfile's special report.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
