Isreal caught in flames with its largest recorded wildfire!

Just days ago a fire broke out in Israel.  This massive fire killed 43 and injured 17.  It was a long and intense struggle to put it out.  They extinguished many sections while other parts continued to burn.  The finance ministry is allocating them around 16 million dollars to aid communities affected by this terrible fire.  They had been working day and night to put out the fire from the air.  Israel mobilized 30 different planes for other countries to help with these efforts.  While the fire continued on, 17,000 people had been evacuated from close communities.
