My Way News - Israel battles forest fire with foreign help
My Way News reports: "The eruption of the blaze Thursday overwhelmed Israel's small firefighting force and prompted an unprecedented call for international help from a country better known for helping in other countries' disaster zones [...] Some 100 firefighters from Bulgaria arrived as well as fire extinguishing planes and crews from Greece, Britain and Cyprus, Israeli officials said. Additional planes were offered by other EU nations and Russia. The U.S. was sending a team of firefighting experts as well as tons of fire retardant and foam, and pledged to help with additional aircraft [...] Israel's Mideast neighbors, Jordan and Egypt, also sent firefighters and equipment [...] The help that drew the most attention came from Turkey, once a close ally but now a vocal critic [...] The Palestinian Authority, which recently cut off U.S.-sponsored peace talks with the Netanyahu government, also dispatched firefighters and trucks."

Comment: Praying that God will bless all those that have come to Israel's aid.
