Haifa, Israel’s third largest city is is one of those areas that is on fire. The city of more than 250,000 is on edge with 75,000+ evacuated already.
Even worse for Haifa in particular is the fact that fires in six different locations mysteriously started up at nearly the same time!
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said residents in eight neighbourhoods had been told to leave due to six separate fires, with four evacuation centres set up.
‘It is suspicious that they started at the same time in six different areas in Haifa,’ he said. ‘We received reports and found it suspicious enough to believe that someone was behind the incidents.’
He said that people were seen running away from fire scenes, further increasing suspicions, and stated that four people have been questioned in connection with a blaze near Jerusalem.
