Firefighters work in Haifa, Israel, Thursday, Nov. 24, 2016. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a small village in the forests near Jerusalem was evacuated overnight as several homes there caught fire. The fires began three days ago at the Neve Shalom community near Jerusalem where Israelis and Arabs live together. Later, blazes erupted in the northern Israeli area of Zichron Yaakov and elsewhere near Jerusalem before the largest ones spread across Haifa. Israel has strengthened its firefighting capabilities since then, buying special planes that can drop large quantities of water on affected areas.
