A huge fire in the heart of Haifa. Suspected arson terrorist attack
A number of fires broke out one after the other: Haashlag Street, Gesher Paz (the fire station) and then when the firefighters were busy protecting the station, the fire broke out in Ramot Sapir. The strong east wind fanned the fire and the firestorm moved through the treetops. Dozens of houses burned completely. 60 thousand residents were evacuated from their homes. A lot of destruction in every corner.

Saturday, two days after the outbreak of the fire, throughout the city there remained foci of smoking coals, threatening to erupt at any moment. For this task the helicopters were harnessed, carrying a huge water tank and dropping it on these centers.
