Jerusalem wildfires' origin allegedly fabricated by Netanyahu, claims media
Let's set the record straight: Channel 12, a Hebrew TV channel, called out ol' Bibi yesterday, revealing that his statements about the Jerusalem Hills wildfires were a heap of BS.
Apparently, unlike what Netanyahu claimed, those infernos weren't lit intentionally. Instead, it looks like they were the result of recklessness, not a mastermind's plan. The channel even reported that the three bozos who were pinched have zilch to do with the Jerusalem fires.
Now, Netanyahu claimed that security forces nabbed 18 arsonists in connection to the Jerusalem fires, with one of them caught red-handed. But the Israel Police had other plans—they flat-out denied Netanyahu's statement, stating that no such arrests were made.
These fires, which turned large chunks of forests and farmland in occupied Jerusalem and Tel Aviv into a charred mess, even touching the Jordan Valley, have stirred up some political drama within Israel.
The blazes rapidly spread due to insane temperatures and gusty winds in the forested area. The Israeli Meteorological Service warned that the fires are likely to carry on spreading thanks to the winds.
Oh, by the way, this whole situation has sparked an investigation into the exact cause of the wildfires. The Fire and Rescue Service, along with other Israeli authorities, have pointed their fingers at negligence as the likely culprit. Don't worry, a special investigation team is on the case, digging deep to crack this nut. So far, their focus is squarely on negligence, possibly connected to human activity such as hiking.
To break it down:
- The Jerusalem Hills wildfires were fueled by carelessness, not intentional malice[1][2][3].
- The claims of numerous arrests tied to the fires were inflated; only three suspects were nabbed, with no solid evidence linking them to the fires[2][4].
- Investigations are ongoing, with authorities using a special team to figure out the precise cause of the fires[3][4].
- The fires have mostly been contained, but officials are keeping an eye out for any new developments[3].
So, while human activity played a part, there's no confirmed evidence of arson in the Jerusalem Hills wildfires, buddy.
