Forest fires in Israel over

The fires that have plagued Israel for nearly a week are virtually over.

The Israeli government has moved to a weekly session Sunday and to Haifa. From that city last Thursday were an estimated 60 000 people evacuated after burning many districts had reached the city. Between four and six hundred houses or apartments have been destroyed by fire. Ministers will look at the damage and the Minister of Finance is considering what support is made available to those affected.
