Flames engulf vegetation during a forest fire near the central Israeli town of Bet Shemesh on April 30, 2025 AFP Bushfires that erupted near Jerusalem were largely brought under control on Thursday, authorities said, with major roads reopened and firefighting teams still tackling lingering hotspots.

"The fire is under control," said Shlomi Harush, a senior official with the firefighting service.
