WATCH: Massive wildfires wreak havoc near Jerusalem, communities evacuated, Route 1 to be closed
Major roads like Route 6 near the Sorek Interchange, Route 38, and Route 44 are closed to traffic. Also, fire officials are now debating whether to declare a “Red Torch,” a general mobilization, for the Beit Shemesh area. If they go through with it, parts of Beit Shemesh will likely be evacuated to keep residents safe.
