Netanyahu announces arrest of 18 suspected of igniting Jerusalem wildfires
''Israeli'' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the arrest of 18 individuals suspected of involvement in starting the wildfires that have been raging across the hills surrounding Jerusalem. 'We are currently holding 18 suspects in connection with the fires, one of whom was caught in the act,' Netanyahu said on Thursday, according to ''Israeli'' news outlet Ynet. He stressed that 'Israel' is doing everything it can to contain the fires and repair the damage. Firefighting crews continued their efforts Thursday to bring the wildfires under control, after flames erupted Wednesday along the main highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The fires forced the evacuation of thousands of residents from nearby communities and led to widespread road closures. Seventeen firefighters were also injured during operations, according to the 'Israeli' Broadcasting Corporation. After hours of firefighting, several major roads—including the main Jerusalem–Tel Aviv highway—were reopened. Police confirmed in a brief statement: 'All roads have been reopened to traffic.' In response to the crisis, Netanyahu declared a national emergency, warning that the wildfires could reach the city of Jerusalem itself. Police reported that five areas, roughly 30 kilometers west of the city, had been evacuated as a precaution. By Thursday, police allowed residents of the Mevo Horon settlement—located between Latrun and Modi'in—to return home. 'Independence Day' celebrations scheduled for Wednesday evening were canceled to prioritize firefighting efforts. The ''Israeli'' army said in a statement that dozens of heavy engineering machines were deployed overnight to create firebreaks and contain the blaze. Over 95 fire suppressant loads were dropped from aircraft in an attempt to halt the fire's spread.

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced today that the 'Israeli' military carried out a warning operation in the Sahnaya area of Syria, targeting a "radical" group allegedly preparing to attack the Druze community in the region. In a joint statement, Netanyahu and Katz emphasized that the operation was intended to prevent the planned attack and that 'Israel' had sent a clear message to the Syrian regime, urging it to take immediate action to protect the Druze population. The statement also underscored 'Israel's' expectation that Syria would act quickly to safeguard the Druze from any further threats. The 'Israeli' Broadcasting Corporation reported that the attack in Syria was carried out using a drone, which launched a missile targeting a building where militants were allegedly preparing to attack the Druze. The broadcaster noted that no casualties were reported, as the attack was designed from the outset to serve as a warning message.

Netanyahu refuses caravans, heavy equipment entry into Gaza - Jordan News
Caravans and heavy equipment will not enter the Gaza Strip, after 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to give approval – according to a report by the 'Israeli' Broadcasting Corporation. اضافة اعلان 'Following a security consultation chaired by the prime minister, it was decided that the issue of caravans will be discussed in the coming days. Israel is fully coordinating with the United States,' an official cited by the media outlet said Netanyahu's refusal is apparently attributed to newly circulating reports that 'Israel' wants to extend the current first phase of the deal beyond 42 days, and release three more captives in the process.
