Weeklong wildfires continue to burn across Israel, including near Jerusalem, as 155 firefighting teams work to contain the flames, Al Jazeera reports, citing The Times of Israel.

The effort comes after Israeli PM Netanyahu’s warning yesterday that the country is facing a “national emergency”, with fires threatening to reach the city of Jerusalem.

Israel’s fire chief Eyal Caspi described the blazes as the largest in a decade.
