Responding to Forest Fires Set by Arab Terrorists
Israel’s precious forests are burning at the hands of Arab terrorists. On April 30, 2025, massive fires deliberately set by Arab terrorists erupted across the Jerusalem Hills, forcing evacuations of multiple communities, injuring innocent civilians, and destroying thousands of acres of vital forest land. As Israelis were preparing to celebrate the nation’s 77th Independence Day, they instead faced one of the worst terrorist-ignited wildfires in the country’s history.
“And I will plant them upon their soil, Nevermore to be uprooted From the soil I have given them —said Hashem your God”
Israel Under Attack: Our Forests in Flames
The devastation continues. Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has endured relentless attacks on its land:
- Nearly 13,000 acres of forests and nature reserves in northern Israel destroyed by Hezbollah rocket attacks
- Southern forests scorched by Hamas rocket strikes
- And now, massive fires in the Jerusalem Hills deliberately set by Arab terrorists have forced evacuations of communities including Neve Shalom, Beko’a, Ta’oz, Nachshon, and more
Israeli authorities have arrested several suspects on charges of arson, as the Shin Bet security agency investigates these acts of environmental terrorism that deliberately targeted Israel’s forests during Independence Day celebrations.
These aren’t just trees being lost—they’re symbols of Israel’s resilience, history, and future. Each forest represents decades of dedication and love for the land.

Your tree planting becomes a lasting tribute to victims of terror and a testament to Israel’s enduring strength. As Prime Minister Netanyahu said during this crisis: “We will continue to build the land, because we have only one home.”
Plant your tree today. Help Israel rise from the ashes.
