Turkey sends aid to Israel to fight fire across country

Turkey sent fire-fighting aircraft to Israel on Nov. 24 to combat a fire that has broken out across the country, Foreign Ministry officials have told the Hürriyet Daily News, adding that Tel Aviv accepted Ankara’s offer to provide assistance.

A strong easterly wind whipped up forest and bush fires across Israel and the West Bank on Nov. 24, temporarily forcing the closure of a highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

A lack of rain combined with very dry air and strong easterly winds spread the fires across central and northern Israel this week, as well as parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Scores of homes have been damaged or destroyed, although no deaths or serious injuries have been reported.

Israel has also requested aerial firefighting support from Croatia, Greek Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Russia, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

“Thank you Cyprus, Croatia, Greece,  Italy, Russia, Turkey, Romania & Bulgaria for sending help to fight the fires in Israel. True friends!,” Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a tweet.

Rosenfeld said police were investigating all possible causes, including arson.

Edrogan is islamist garbage worthy only of a bullet in the back of his skull......if its a cheap bullet.

Despite his little show of "goodwill" he has aided the attempts to run the Israeli blockaid of Gaza and smuggle weapons. He's aided ISIS and bombed our Kudish allies.
