Wildfires tear across Israel, Netanyahu calls arsonists "terrorists"

Wildfires tear across central and northern Israel, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee the city of Haifa, as leaders blamed arsonists for some of the blazes and branded them terrorists. The wildfires started three days ago and are still tearing across central and northern Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials suggested the fires may be arson -- with Netanyahu saying any fire caused by arson would be considered "terrorism".
