A bit closure to Jerusalem, another fire also erupted Sunday afternoon, this one at the Lifta Nature Reserve, located at the entrance to the capital, according to Israel’s Channel 12 News outlet.
As was reported during the series of fires that broke out around the capital last week, firefighters told reporters they believe Sunday’s flames may have been set deliberately by terror arsonists.
Both are under investigation.
