⚡️BREAKING: Out of control fires – Israel seeks help to contain massive wildfires near Jerusalem

Massive wildfires are spreading across western Jerusalem and the Gaza envelope, forcing the closure of Routes 1 and 3 and prompting large-scale evacuations.

The fires are nearing sensitive sites, including tanks near the “Black Arrow” memorial west of Sderot and major Israeli settlements and kibbutzim.

With 119 firefighting teams and aircraft struggling to contain the flames, Israel has requested urgent assistance from Cyprus, Greece, Croatia, and Italy.

Officials warn the situation is critical and likely to worsen.

⚡️What sparked the wildfires in Israel?

Israelis and Zionists claim that Palestinians are behind the fires in Jerusalem and across Israel. However, the reality is simple, as shown by today’s fire map of the entire region:

1. The extreme weather conditions.
2. The highly flammable European pine trees—non-native species that Israel planted extensively.

European pine trees—especially the Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis)—are widely planted in Israel and are a major component of many of the forests.

➤ Aleppo pine is the most common tree in Israeli forests, heavily planted by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) since the early 20th century for reforestation.
➤ These pines are not native to most parts of Israel and were introduced on a large scale, often replacing native Mediterranean oak and maquis ecosystems.
➤ They are highly flammable, with resinous wood and dense needle litter, making them a major wildfire hazard, especially in hot, dry, and windy conditions.
➤ Forests like those in Jerusalem Hills, Mount Carmel, and Ben Shemen contain large stands of Aleppo pine, many of which have suffered repeated wildfire damage.

The elevated fire risk in Israel today, April 30, 2025, is due to a combination of extreme weather conditions:

➤ High temperatures: Temperatures have soared to between 36°C and 39°C (97°F to 102°F) in central and southern Israel, including the Shfela region and the Negev.

➤ Strong winds: Gusty winds are rapidly spreading fires, complicating containment efforts.

➤ Low humidity: Dry air increases flammability, making vegetation more susceptible to ignition.

These factors have led to massive wildfires near Jerusalem, prompting evacuations and a national emergency declaration.Image

The daughter of Israeli Settlement Minister Orit Strock has revealed that she was sexually assaulted by her parents in a documented and horrifying manner.

This morning, the daughter-Shoshana, daughter of Minister Orit Strock—broke her silence and said in a recorded video:

"I was sexually assaulted by my parents. The assault was filmed. I am living under threat from criminal elements and feel that I am in danger. I filed a complaint with the police against my parents before leaving the country. I am asking the Israeli police to protect me-from the criminals and from my family as well. I would be grateful for the public's help in spreading this message to every possible outlet."

⚡️BREAKING: Video footage from the cellphone of a Palestinian paramedic, later found in a mass grave with 14 other aid workers killed by Israel in Gaza, shows their final moments and disproves Israel’s account.

New footage shows aid workers in Gaza killed under heavy gunfire while ambulance lights were on, proving Israel’s claim that the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals were false.

A video recovered from the cellphone of a Palestinian paramedic, later found in a mass grave with 14 other aid workers in Gaza, shows clearly marked ambulances and a fire truck with emergency lights on coming under heavy Israeli gunfire in Rafah on March 23.

The footage, verified by The New York Times, was presented to the UN Security Council by the Palestine Red Crescent Society during a press conference moderated by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. It captures the convoy stopping to assist a damaged ambulance when gunfire erupts, hitting the rescue vehicles.

Filming from inside one of the vehicles before being killed, the paramedic recites the Muslim declaration of faith — “There is no God but God, Muhammad is His messenger” — and says: “Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose — to help people. Allahu akbar.”

Source: NewYork Times.
UN OCHA, Civil Defense, and Red Crescent crews eventually exhumed a mass grave where the bodies were discovered—many with zip-tied hands and signs of field execution. “One had his clothes removed, another was beheaded,”
The story and the moment the grave was found:

Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and Civil Defense teams recovered the bodies of 8 PRCS medics, 6 Civil Defense workers, and 1 UN staff member from a mass grave in Rafah, Gaza—marked only by the emergency light of a crushed ambulance.

Seven days earlier, as Israeli forces advanced, 10 PRCS and 6 Civil Defense first responders were dispatched to rescue the wounded. All five ambulances, a fire truck, and a later-arriving UN vehicle were struck, and contact was lost.

One survivor reported Israeli forces executed both medics in his ambulance. Despite repeated coordination efforts, access was only granted five days later. En route, teams witnessed civilians fleeing under gunfire, including a woman shot in the head and a man killed while trying to reach her. Her body was retrieved using the UN vehicle.

Upon reaching the site the next day, they found ambulances, the fire truck, and the UN vehicle crushed and partially buried. After hours of digging, they recovered the first body—beneath the fire truck.

The rest were found on the first day of Eid, still in uniform, wearing gloves, and inside marked vehicles—killed on their way to save lives.
